they do know that there is a big difference in that at the thoric area t7-8 is compromising the cord.t7-8 is a right paracentrally herniation causing cord compression, also t6-7 is on the right but not compressing as of yet c6-7 is a central disc herniation which has slight mass affect along the ventral thecal sac? anyone care to interep this for me, sorry about spelling lack of sleep will do it all the time. Couold someone also tell me if i could possible also have depression as we had a death in the family two weeks ago and i can not stop thinking about him every day,could this also have affect on the amount of pain i have been feeling and maybe one of the reasons that i just don't want to go out or even get out of bed, thought it all was the pain now don't know. well gotta go as i am now getting a bad pain rapping around my chest.. thanks deb
