instruction: hello doctor I have had mild pain from one of my vertebrae for about eight months it is one of the thoracic vertebrae I am not certain of which one it is approximately in the middle of my back it feels slightly sore when I bend backward also if I press with my thumb on the spinous process I am wondering if it could be a fracture and I worry a little bit about bone cancer there is no lump it does not hurt unless I move a certain way I think it might have started when I was doing some yoga poses lying on the floor
