Slipped Disc on D7-8
 

Hello I'm 30 years old female. Last April I got a horrible pain in my back (actually it's not back I felt it like somewhere in my chest). I went to my family doctor and he thought it is a muscle pain and treated for a week but nothing happened.
Then I went to a specialist and that doctor asked me to take a MRI on Mobitrack, so then he realized that I have a slipped disc in D-Spain, disc D7-8 but No cord compression.
My doctor wants me to go for a surgery, but I'm little bit scared of it.
I need an advice. I never had an accident or something like that. The pain occurred suddenly when I was sleeping. Is it a common case slipped disc in D-Spain? How can I get rid of this pain? Please advice

Hello & welcome

Is the slipped disk at C 7 /8? I can fix the title for you if so.
I'm guessing the area involved is C spine and not D- spain?

Did you have any PT at all , I'd try that for a month or 2 at least.
Is there any hand or arm problems with this?

here is a chiropractic chart showing some areas that can be affected

Hello Jo*mar,

Thank you very much for the information.
In my MRI report they have mentioned as D7-8
As I feel the D7-8 is in somewhere in T-Spain in your image.
If it's not a problem, I will attach my MRI report and a picture of the MRI

Hi Jo*Mar

I'm trying to attach a picture of my MRI.
Please let me know what should I do

Thanks a lot

Perhaps the MRI report has a typo, :confused: unless others know more about it.
