Really need to know whats causing my pain and what can help

[shell4sky]

Hi can someone help or having same problems?? What's causing my pain????

I am under a physio and even though I had an MRI because of spinal and stomach pains my physio seems to suggest its my posture I need to work on and a 'just' some vertebrae's are a bit stiff?? He says once he has moved them then its down to me to keep them moving. I do go swimming and gym (specially for my back no heavy) I have noticed I do slightly lean recently but that is new and due to the pain and discomfort.
He doesn't seem to link the pain to any of my problems and says some are found by accident. Id like to know how things are found by 'accident' and are more than likely 'not' the cause of my pain and could of been there from birth even. How when I went for pain and problems can someone say that?? Ive one scan 18 year ago nothing showed so def weren't there before.

My list of problems are:

bulged discs to sagittal T1
weightted T1, axial T1weighted and T2 weighted through discs
subtle focal kyphotic change at the T11-12
scattered occasional haemangioma in T9, L3, L4 and S1 vertebral bodies
dessication of the thoracic and lumbar discs
small schmorls nodes adjacent to T11-12 and T10-11 discs
disc bulge at T11-12
facetal changes L3-4 and L4-5

They also found occasional haemangiomas on my liver (also get pain and swelling in that area)

and not sure which is causing my pain to me its my middle back/spine and surrounding areas I also often get burning feelings in my back and clicking of my spine and ribs when I breathe. My physio doenst know what the burning is and not concerned of the clicking as it doesn't cause extra pain but does seem to relieve a tiny bit, or best to say it feels like it needs to be done/feels out of place slightly???

My pain has got worse and seems to be wider area, just cant go on with this pain :(

Thank you for your reply. Don't really get them explained enough to understand, just got them read to me. My physio also says Ive stiffness in my spine and believes that, that's causing the pain? Im not so sure as Ive had spine mri before and nothing showed, but this time all above, surely its one or more than one of those that's also causing the pain??? Considering I have severe pain in the area, is it a coincidence? I do feel a corset may help, def need support. Pain killers Ive tried nothing seems to relieve, but would like to try the muscle relaxants. Appreciate your guidance :)

Hi!

Well, you have wide spread spine involvement with disc bulges, desiccation and facet changes. There is additional kyphosis too. The only way it can be really managed is as your physiotherapist says—through physiotherapy. This can involve improving posture, exercises to strengthen back muscles, traction, and manual therapy. Other than this you can also opt for a thoraco-lumbar corset that will keep your spine supported while you work. In addition some pain killers and muscle relaxants can be prescribed. Do discuss this with your doctor and physiotherapist. Take care!
