I've had pain in my back for most of my adult life. Most of the pain was do to stress and strain from lifitng heavy objects and moving furniture. I would go to the chiropractor to get relief. Three years ago I started to have pain across my back in the area of my bra strap. I was taking computor classes and figured it was just pain from that. I still went to the chirpracto but he could not help me. I finally went to a back pain specialist when the pain was too much for me to bare. I had an ex-ray which showed I had a compression fracture in my thoraxic spine. Since I had a history of breast cancer the doc. ordered a bone scan. The scan showed severeal areas that were suspicious of bone mets. I had a biopsy of the vertibre in my spine which confirmed malignancy. I have had rad. treatment and chemo which have kept the disease stable. I don't mean to alarm you, but you need to find out if this is a simple strain which can be alleviated with manipulation or something more serious. I wish you well.

Love and Blessings from Lu Ann
