I have a hemangioma on t7 as well. And, "there's actually another one that the radiologist didn't see". I am in constant crushing stabbing pain in my upper back to right side, right foot goes numb, and I cannot sleep. ER Physician's Assistant blew me off and gave me Lyrica for "finding fibromyalgia" and said I would thank him someday and to get my life together. I'm a MS, RN. My life is together! Neurosurgeon said it wouldn't cause pain and diagnosed me with polymyalgia rheumatica. I'm going to see a neurologist in Boston Tuesday. It's funny h I w the pain radiates right in the nerve path of t7!! So angry!
OMG...Just diagnosed myself with T7 hemangioma smaller one on T4 and an occult intrasacral meningocele s1-s3....Constipated... enuresis... severe, crushing rib pai. Have you had any answers yet?/ would love to hear!
I also was just diagnosed with a hemangioma in T9. All of the specialists tell me it is nothing to worry about and they blew me off when I tried to ask questions. I have had severe pain in that area that would radiate around my ribs for a couple of years now. All of a sudden as the pain progressed I am also having problems with my bowels. The ER doctor said it ws gastroparesis. My digestive system was paralized. I have been trying to do research to see if they can be related. Has anyone else had this problem? Desperately in need of more information. Doctors do not seem very interested and brush each symptom off as a minor coinsidence in the mean time I fell like I could die before they decide to listen to me. I hope you both are doing ok by now. I noticed you sent this 2009. I hope someone still replies. I am a 43 yr old nurse and I have great experience with the body I am starting to think I see more of a connection than the doctors do. Any help or information would be greatly appriciated. Sincerely, Dar

In 2008, I was diagnosed with hemangiomas in my spine, near my rib cage bone, surrounding my esophagus, my heart and in anywhere there is room( thoracic region) . I had my gallbladder removed with a hemangioma in 2007. I was seen by three oncologist from different centers. My treatment was a small dose of chemo (vincrisitin). It is working. In a couple of weeks, I'll have more. My tumors are benign and they seem to be multiplying instead of metastasizing. I was told it isn't cancer but I think the medical community is not 100% in agreement. I'm 45-year-old female and live in Los Angeles.
