I am told the pressure on my cord is a contributing factor, but my neuomuscular doc does nothing about it. I am in agonizing pain which the Lyrica has done nothing to to relieve. She insists that it will relieve the pain.

I get what feels like my midsection is burning, heartburn like, but it is from the herniation. It wraps around me like a band at the level of my diaphragm
and I feel like I am being cut in half. I have bilateral foot drop, leg weakness, and atrophy. No fun. This is part of my experience.

Perhaps the cervical area is causing the arm problems. Thoracic is kind of low for your symptoms, but I guess there could be refered pain and burning.
