One day

I I had been working out HARD at the gym all week .one day at my desk I heard a sound inside like water pressure for a few seconds . and then I got an ache between my shoulder blades that would not stop .a week later I went to chiropractic and he said I had a rib out . He put it back in .the pain NEVER LEFT . I went back to chiropractic ,he suggested an xray . Nothing on xray .Primary ordered MRI nothing except multiple multilevel cysts on my spine. The pain continued and worsened referred to spine Dr. Who gave me lidocaine patches . By now my back is so sore and sensitive I don't like the shower or shirts . Chest CT scan , xrays , labs , ultra sounds , all say I'm healthy .. but week by week the pain is worse . Spine Dr. Says it's the cysts ,it's rare ,we don't treat these . 8 thoracic cysts two in T-3and T-5 the rest scattered throughout .
