Usually thoracic spine is less involved in degenerative but sometimes because of the infection sometimes thoracic spine may be involved, especially in tuberculosis of the spine. Usually involves thoracic spine or thoracolumbar junction. Otherwise degenerative disc rarely involves the thoracic spine, only 2 to 3 % it involves. But when it is involved and the disc bulge is to much and in the lumbar region where there are only nerve roots there. So the pressure on the nerve root is less than the pressure on the spinal cord. So the spinal cord is involved then lot of spinal function will get affected. So that is why it is more dangerous to have Thoracic spine disease rather in the lumbar or in the cervical spine. So the RED FLAGS are stiffness of legs or difficulty to walk because of the Thoracic spine disease, then it has to be taken seriously and treated at the earliest.
