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?

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.
