Dear Dr Corenman,
I’ve been having burning middle back pain for about a year-it mainly hurts when I lean against something – the back of the chair, pillow etc. I had MRI a year ago, which showed some intake on C7, to investigate this I had a nuclear bone scan and spect ct and it was decided that I have a synovial cyst on C7. I saw neurologist – he didn’t think it was neurological issue, physio thought it could be from neck but his treatments made it worse, painkillers don’t help and its progressively worse in the afternoon when I sit on the office chair – any idea what can cause this type of contact/ pressure pain??
