Thank you for your reply i will go see the specialist, i had scoliosis testing done on me by those people that come to the schools to test everyone for it.. they tested me once then said hmmm ok now straighten up your posture and i did and they said i was clear just bad posture.. my doctor said it might be sumthing i dont remember what exactly the word was im pretty sure she said kyphosis. . my grandma has the 2nd thing you said that occurs mostly in older women and it goes out instead of in.. and my back is starting to do the same...
Hi. You could have scoliosis, which is a curvature of the spine. You're born with it. It doesn't necessarily cause pain, however. Kyphosis is a backwards curvature of the spine. It is actually a straightening of the part of the spine so it goes out instead of in. This is a fairly common problem, esp. in older women for some reason.
The only way to figure out what's going on is to see an orthopedic back specialist and get some x-rays, maybe an MRI if you're having pain.
