i noticed that i have a curve to my right side, it seems to be wider across than the other side. it seems to go a little beyond where my arm should rest normally. i was wondering if anyone had something similiar or know what im talking about.

I don't have it so can't advise, but could you be talking about scoliosis?
M@CHINE
that could be what it is, i was just hopin it could be something else. didnt notice it until bout a yr ago and im only 1yr 8mths post injury. i never had this prob until i got hurt

I was wondering if you meant scoliosis too. Do you have much support in your chair?

How long have you been in a chair for? Because my physical therapist told me that I sit "sideways" in my chair, meaning that I lean to the left, and she said I even keep my head tilted slightly to the left, lol. She said it's pretty common for people who've been in chairs for years to lean to one side and also, because I broke ribs in my accident, my rib cage didn't really heal straight so if your broke ribs from a traumatic SCI, that could cause it as well.

I also tend to lean right a little.

I just figured it was from not being able to use my trunk muscles anymore.

ive only been hurt 1yr and 11mths. they said i had a curve in my spine but never sent me 2 check it out. i never had this until after my injury, could be scoliosis but that seems 2 be a real quick time for i to develop
