Thoracic Polyradiculopathy

[Chiara1112]

My father has been diagnosed with Thoracic Polyradiculopathy but the consultant and GP don't really know much about the condition. He is on pain medication but they only take the edge off. Does anyone have any advice on the condition? Anything that will help with pain or, possibly, help with repairing the nerve damage? Thanks in advance.

Then I am not sure that you are going to receive much help from AB.
This condition is usually associated with degeneration of the vertebral due to wear and tear, which "pinches" or "traps" the spinal nerves giving pain.
The pain can usually be controlled by Nsaids e.g Ibuprofen but if not then varous kinds of surgery are available to "untrap" the nerves.

However, TP can also be secondary to other diseases..e.g Diabetes and occasionally and rarely be secondary yo malignant disease.

This post is not very helpful, but is all that I know of the condition.

Thank you. PET scan was clear as was everything else. My father is having terrible side effects from his medication so was hoping someone had any experience/knowledge of the condition. Thanks for your reply though.
