L82, you have my sympathies here too, I've been dealing with a nerve prob in my back as well for almost a year now. The pain is in my back, between the the shoulder blades, but the nerve prob wraps all the way around my chest...I can't stand a shirt touching, or the seat belt in the van...Like TinTN, I've gotten some relief from Neurontin, which also helps with the neuropathy I've had since my diabetes flared out of control last year. Irish is right, pain sucks...
