Pain in the thoracic area
On 3 august 2016 i had a sudden onset backache while having lunch. There was a severe pain in the left thoracic region for almost 1 hour leading to loss of sensation and power in both the legs and also loss of bladder & bowl control which gradually improved over time. In diagnosis it was found to be spinal avm. I have gone under embolisation treatment for spinal avm cure. This spinal avm was fed by D8(right) and D11(left) arteries. But I have pain in the left thoracic region which pose great difficulty to me in doing my daily activities. Although my doctor said that your avm is almost cured(embolised) now. But still this pain has not reduced a little bit. Why this pain is still continue? What could be the root cause of this pain? Even innerwear cloth movement cause the pain how could I reduce it or get relief from it? Please suggest some treatment. How long it would take if there is some nerve damage? What activities to be avoided? Thanks in advance.

Hello.. Well the symptoms you are mentioning is very typical for avm..Its really good that you sought help at the right time...I understand that you are going through chronic pain..I would suggest you to take prescribed medications for pain...He may write gabantin..Its better to confirm with your doctor and take...Nerve damage will take time to recover from days to weeks...Since your avmhas been treated am sure you will be recovering now...But I would like you to know that the process is gradual...Thank you
