I've been reading through a lot of the old (and new) posts gathering info.
When you all refer to the rib hump or a hump on your back do you mean a very obvious hump when you are standing up or just when you bend over?
I am 37 and have about a 62 degree right thoracic curve and my right shoulder blade sticks out a little when I'm standing. As I look in the mirror with a shirt on I only see a hump when I bend over - and then it's huge. I never knew it was there until I read about it here and got a mirror and checked. Without a shirt on I can see a small hump just under my shoulder blade - kind of weird looking but I wouldn't say it's real big compared to the way some people on the board describe the hump. Maybe I'm just lucky so far.
I'm also wondering if the "hump" becomes more prominent as the curve progresses and if it has to do with what part of the spine you have the curve? Anyone with any insight? Thanks.
