Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 First I would like to thank Cam for this forum and directing me to this message board. I also wish to say that I appreciate the desire of those on here to help and to share their experiences. It does take a lot of courage to share your thoughts about this topic. That being said, I need your help or any suggestions on my perdicament. I have seen many doctors over the years. I am currently in my mid 30's and am physically getting worse. This is a physical and mentally debilitating thing= flatback. Where I differ from most is that my " flatback " symptoms are natural and from simply birth. I have seen nueroligists, spinal surgens, chropracters, and physical therapists who are baffled as to the shape of my spine.... Most scoliosis is if looking at someones back would be side to side= where shoulderblades are vastly un-even or rib cages are uneven... My spine is shaped like an exaggerated s= where the lower spine extends toward my belley button and my upper spine is sticks out and is very curved..almost " arch " like in look. As I get older my kneck is taking the brunt of this irregularity as well as my knees. I would really like to find someone who has some expertise in rare forms of scoliosis to help rectify my posture. It is hard to put into words actually how it looks and how hard it is at times to deal with mentally. I would appreciate any comments or potential leads to resolving this issue. I thank all of you in advance for responding and am greatful to find this forum.. I will be away for a week on business but can't wait to hopefully read some suggestions from the members here. Thanks and I hope someone has some info on natural/congenital flatback... All the best G Quote
