Question
I was diagnosed recently with a hemangioma in T11 vertebra along with 3 bulging disc and disc dehydration and facet joint arthritis. My question is what sort of pain do hemangiomas cause? I have suffered severe back pain for over 30 years in the area of T11 and lumbar area but my GP said that the pain from a hemangioma is a sharp acute bursting pain and not what I am suffering with. Is this true and are there any other websites with easy to understand information about hemangiomas?

Thank you in advance

Carol
