Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Kyphosis: It sounds like you may have increased curvature in your thoracic spine, or increased kyphosis. This may be something that developed when you were younger (Scheuerman's disease), or may be related to degeneration (aging). See an orthopedist for further evaluation such as x-rays.
