thoracic area herniated disc symptoms
While a herniated disc usually occurs in the cervical spine (neck) or lumbar spine (lower back), it can occasionally present itself in the thoracic spine (middle back). A thoracic herniated disc often presents symptoms of pain in the back and in one of the extremities, depending on the location of the herniated disc. For example, if the herniated disc is in the upper part of the thoracic spine, you may experience pain in one of your arms or hands.
