Hemangiomas are increasingly found on MRIs of the spine and are for the most part harmless and not the cause of pain.
I suspect that there are other causes of your pain that may include slipped discs pinching some nerves.
Hemangiomas are often present from birth and are like birth marks but can be found internally as well.
