A member asked:
I have a posture question. seems my shoulder blades protrude. looks like hunchback. how do i know? anyway to check posture?

Yes: Please see your doctor. At your age it may not be a posture issue but an issue of kyphosis of your thoracic spine related to osteoporosis. (Curve in spine related to low calcium in bones of spine). Your doctor can evaluate you for this. Best of luck. Dr R
