Deformity: The symptoms are mainly due to the forward balance deformity. That may include pain, weakness, pulmonary issues, and also a feeling of abdominal bloating. In severe cases, the rib cage may contact the pelvis causing pain. There may also be a sensation of a forward imbalance when walking. Low back pain may also occur.
