Pain in upper back spine
Hi,
My wife feels some pain in her upper back spine since one month, we refer a Dr. He suggested us to go for Dorsal MRI. We examine it and it report says "Fusion of D3 and D4 vertebra is seen".
I just want to understand what is it in simple words. Is it a critical problem or simply diagnose with some pills or tablets?

Just like how you have birth marks in skin, and moles, there are few conditions inside our body which cause no harm
This is one of those : Where two bones have fused
There is no need to worry

Dear Sir
Vertebrae are bones of the Back
There are 12 such bones in the chest region
These are called D1 to D12
Fusion of D3 and D4 vertebra means that two bones D3 and D4 are united together
This won't cause pain
There is no need to treat this. Don't worry
This is like a Birth mark in Skin.
Pain must be due to some other factors
