I have a really bad hunchback. I noticed it when I was 13/14, now I m 18 and it s got worse. I don t know what to do! I didn t go to the doctor because they would probably say Nothing s wrong, it s in your imagination . It isn t though, it s awfully noticeable. So if I did go to a doctor what would they do? Is it fixable?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Please do not form a negative opinion of your doctor without having consulted him. It is important to do a clinical examination of the back by a doctor to ascertain the findings, whether there is kyphosis or scoliosis (forward or lateral bending of the spine). If found, you would require an MRI and a few other tests to find out the reason for the same. If clinically significant, the spine deformity can be corrected with operation.  Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
