I have a great tendency to believe that I have this due to the alignment of my upper back. I will way it has gotten a lot better with the 70 pounds lost. I will be going to the chiropractor probably in a few weeks. Does anyone else have this issue? And if so, any pains associated with this?

Sorry for the weirdness but my phone hates the web browser.

    Alright let me redo my last entry. I have a great tendency to believe that I have Postural Kyphosis due to the arch in my upper back and my head being pushed forward a little. I believe this began taking effect right-at or during puberty sometime. I have been overweight through my childhood and teen years which has helped contributed to this issue. I will say that do I have pains from it and I believe my breathing has been affected by this. My left shoulder has a very messed up tendon (I'm assuming) or something that causes pain while standing for a duration.

    In a few weeks depending on costs and such I may go to a chiropractor and find out how I can fix or at least attempt to correct my issue. It would be nice to be able to lay down on a flat surface without upper back and lower back pain.

    Does anyone else have any issues similar? Similar experiences? Please share.
