Thoracic symptoms?

[Chad]

About 7 months ago, I started experiencing pain in my thoracic area. I feel like it is in the spine, but at other times it is experienced as muscular pain. My pain (as evidenced through a variety of scans), has been at the l4/l5 level (herniations at first and later an annular tear) and I wondered if anyone else had experienced similar thoracic pain. Seems to go away briefly when I see my osteopath who does manipulation or when I take a hot bath, but always tends to come back. Could this be a byproduct of my l4/l5 concern? Is it possible that I may have herniated a T disc or would this be more of a muscular issue? I'm wondering if I should ask my doc for an MRI to further evaluate.

Best regards,
