Thoracic back pain

Has anyone had back pain in the thoracic area from the CM and if so what did you do about it. My NS want's me to get injections in my back and I am not thrilled about this. He says I can't have a bone scan for a few months and I am not sure why. Does anyone know the answer to that?

" I also have thoractic pain that started when I was thrown from a horse last fall. I ended up finding out about my ACM and syrinx because I got an mri to see why my back still hurt months after the fall.
I the MRI did show a small healed fracture right where I hurt but it still hurts so i don't know if the ACM is causing it or not. It hurts me to stretch out my spine like when I lay down on my back or stomach , bend etc. and when I try to do a sit up. I had surgery for the ACM 5 weeks ago , I am hoping my back will get better as my neck heals and if my syrinx shrinks! "
