Default Thoracic Herniations

Hi, I was referred here from another site. I have 5 thoracic herniated discs. I have been in severe pain for over a year. I am looking for any information on any doctors or procedures that might help. I can't find a doctor that will even look at my case. I understand that thoracic herniated discs are rare and anyone who has this problem runs into the same situation. I just keep looking and hoping like everyone else.

Thanks.

Try contacting Wooridul Spine Hospital team. They are one of the world leading spine hospitals with around 200 surgeons working there.

Recently, one of their leading surgeons, Ji-Sun Kim, invented a new procedure for treating thoracic herniations. I wrote about that in forum few weeks ago.

Regards

Shebo,

Welcome to the forum. It seems you are not alone on this site as too many posters have a similar problem. I'm sure they'll chime in here.

Living in pain is no way to live and I'm sorry for your pain. Here's to better days - Dale
