I agree with Marianne. You need to get a second opinion or even a third opinion. If you know someone who has had spinal problems, find out who their doctor was/is and whether they'd go back to that person. Another possible source of referral is a physical therapist who knows your situation. They know which doctors are easy to talk to and listen to patients.

The T7 looks particularly worrisome to me but I'm not a doctor. Anything causing deformation of the spinal cord or sac around the cord can be problem.
