Steve's TM is between T6 and T7. He complains of the same type of symptoms
on his right side, spasms and sharp pulses and stiffness. He describes it
as being like having a sunburn on the inside that never goes away. So far,
he hasn't had much luck with medications, although it seems to be getting a
little better than it was a month ago. We have high hopes....
