Thanks for all the responses.

The area that hurts is right about in the middle of my back, on the spine. I think it's called the thoracic region. It's just one small area.

PT doesn't really seem to do anything for me, other than make my lower back sore and irritate the area that's always hurting and make it hurt worse. A couple of days of not doing PT and my lower back feels fine, but the area on my spine continues to hurt.

The injury was caused when an elderly gentleman I work with tried to stand up from his wheelchair and began to fall. I was behind the wheelchair, at a weird angle, and reached over the wheelchair to grab him to keep him from falling, and twisted my back in the process.

And yes, I'm going through workers comp.
