Kyphosis abd pain. : Never heard of kyphosis causing abd pain. Pain Diary Keep a diary that notes: When did it start? Where does the pain start and go to? How long does it last? When (Time of Day) does it happen? What brings it on? What makes it worse? What makes it better? Share with your team. They know you. We do not.

Cause?: Suspect your pain is not caused by the kyphosis. Regardless, see a PMR doc or Otho doc to evaluate spine for current position and compression fracture(s). Start a program of fracture prevention, and/or repair with vertebroplasty or spinoplasty, if possible. Examine bracing, PT for muscle balance/strengthening. The sooner you start, the better the outcome. Good luck
