A member asked:
I'm 18 and at the bottom of the back of my neck, where my spine should be, it's like the bone is protruding farther than it should be and it might be ?

Probably normal: Usually either the C7 or T 1 spinous process can be particularly prominent and can appear even more so in someone who has somewhat rounded shoulders or an increased thoracic kyphosis. If you are concerned, don't hesitate to be seen for it to confirm the diagnosis.
