(please see above pic/sketch showing two aspects of my back)
I have scoliosis, kyphosis, an lordosis. As of now, I cannot see a doctor about this for different reasons. So I have questions about the above pic, a crude sketch I made, of my back:
A. The sketch on the left is of what my back looks like from the RIGHT side when I'm simply standing erect, hands down at my side.. The upper back is rounded from kyphosis. The lower back is swayed from lordosis. Again, this is how I look -- roundbacked -- when I stand "erect" with hands down at side.
B. The sketch on the right is what my back looks like when I LIFT MY RIGHT ARM and EXTEND IT OUT FULLY, and when, in extending it out, have to make a squeezing motion so to speak, for example, extending my arm to shake someone's hand, extending my arm and screwing something into a wall with a screwdriver, or opening a refrigerator door. My back then totally contorts. The right shoulder blade, as depicted, JUTS OUT, and the right side of my body all of a sudden goes from being "merely" rounded to looking like I have a missile coming out of my upper back. (This DOESN'T happen on my left side; when I lift my left arm up, the left side REMAINS rounded, my left shoulder blade DOES NOT jut all the way out.)
I have no medical knowledge; so I ask two questions:
1. Can someone tell me what's happening on my right side that my scapula SHOOTS all the way out when I lift up and extend my right arm (again, see my sketch on the right side).
and
2. Is there any strap device that I could wear (under my shirt) to IMPEDE the right scapula from jutting all the way out when I use my right arm.
thank you
