Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Yes, it is possible for thoracic spine stenosis to cause pain and
tingling in the chest area.
The symptoms that could occur due to thoracic spine stenosis depends on the degree of stenosis. If it is severe, it may result in weakness of both legs. Severe
paralysis is uncommon.
I agree with you that it is not worthwhile considering second surgery on
cervical spine, as it is technically more challenging and there are higher risk of complications due to surgery.
For symptom relief, you could take
pregabalin capsules and undergo
physiotherapy.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
