Does anyone have/had this type of stabbing pain from the t5-t6 straight thru your chest...?

The stabbing pain doesn't sound good. I don't have a herniation at T5-6 but do have problems from T4-7. For me, when this area acts up, it feels like someone has a knife in my back near the spine and the knife is being twisted. I also have nerve pain wrapping around the to the front of the chest. It feels like someone has a wrench around my chest and squeezing. I think each person reacts differently to the pain and it also depends on where the nerve compression is.
I'd suggest getting a 2nd or even a 3rd opinion.
