Thanks to everyone. I have five bad dics total in my spine so far. Two in the Lumbar & three in the thoriacic area. So I know allot of my issues are due to this. I also had the doppler ultrasound test done & it shown a pinched nerve when I would raise my arms above my shoulder. I think the blood flow was fine, just not the nerves. To add to that I have an autoimmune nerve disorder. So who knows for sure what is causes my pain etc. At times while in bed my arms will hurt when holding a book up to read. Its paperback so its not heavy. Ohter times my pinky and ring finger will go numb (that only happens on the really bad days) I get allot of headaches, eye pain you name it. However thank you for your post I will read up on the information & threads.
