   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know a nerve from my mid-back can cause pain that wraps toward my chest or belly.
   • I tell my care team about new chest or belly pain, numbness, or a new rash.
   • I do not assume new chest pain or trouble breathing comes from a back nerve.
   • I keep gently moving but avoid activities that clearly make my nerve pain worse.
