Symptoms and feelings of bone necrosis in the chest
Thoracic spinal tumors are less common than those of the spine or lumbar spine. The thoracic vertebrae are less mobile and more protected. The disease is complicated because the symptoms are difficult to identify, which can then lead to a number of other illnesses.
One of the main reasons for the appearance of osteonecrosis of the thoracic region is the presence of scoliosis in humans. With curvature of the spine, pressure on the vertebrae increases and there is displacement and loss of the disc from the spine. The pain that occurs with this disease is indicated by the fact that changes occur in the vertebrae, the metabolism and blood supply are interrupted. This disease mainly affects people with sedentary lifestyles, office workers, drivers, and students.
With thoracic necrosis, the symptoms and feelings are divided into the main pain syndromes: back pain and back pain. Back pain is a chronic, mild, and unpleasant, chronic pain. Dorsago is a sudden, sharp pain. It happens when a person stays in a certain position for a long time and changes it dramatically. Shortness of breath may occur, become short of breath, and poorly controlled muscles.
