MY DOCTOR APPOINTMENT IS NOT FOR ANOTHER WEEK AND I JUST CAN NOT WAIT THAT LONG FOR SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHAT ALL OF THIS MEANS. I ONLY KNOW THAT I AM IN ALOT OF PAIN!!!! I DO ALSO WANT TO TELL OF YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE, IT IS SO AWESOME TO HAVE THIS SITE TO GO TO, HAVING PEOPLE LIKE ME. YOU ARE GREAT!!!:grouphug::D

What specific term do you want to know about?

The spinal terms usually can apply to each area of the spine , cervical, thoracic, lumbar etc - those are the locations.
The number tells what level vertebrae in each area.

T9 = #9 vertebrae in thoracic area
