I'm probably not the best one to answer that. The thoracic pain is now trivial in comparison to the CRPS (last 3 years) in my right shoulder, arm and hand, so now I really don't even pay attention to it.
In better days (pre-CRPS), a combination of therapies noticably helped. Spinal manipulation of my midback (crossed-arm face up manouver) did wonders. For really obnoxious flares, Bextra (no longer available) and when really annoying, medrol dose pak were the way to go. I did consult a neurosurgeon once who said the cure was worse than the condition (for me).
Time ultimately was therapeutic as it has been 8 years now and flare ups are less often and less intense, although I may have just become used to it now. Also, avoiding aggravating postions like sustained bending, made a huge difference.
