What Causes Severe Pain In Upper Back?
I had severe pain in my upper right side of mu back last Nov. to April. Tow MRI showed I had a disk protusion or a piece of a disk had broken off. I no longer have the pain but I can stlill feel something there. I started with a burning towards the end but now it is worse and is throughout my body. I have taken gabapentin for it but still have the burning. I had my nerves tested and they were fine. Is there anything I can do?

1. It could be pressure symptom on the nerve thus causing burning sensation, thus an opinion with orthopedic surgeon is necessary since the said symptos likely point towards sciatica.
2. stop alcohol
. rule out diabetes
. take B complex capsules along with methylcobalamin.
