Dowager Hump

Any ladies here got one of these as they have aged and if so does it pain you .

Re: Dowager Hump

I don't have it but it does sometimes happen with age especially if there is osteoporosis present in the spine, that along with a rounded shoulder posture and weak ligaments can lead to kyphosis (dowager hump)
I think that any condition as a result of osteoporosis etc can lead to discomfort and the rest of the back has to compensate for the bad posture caused by the rounding of the upper back.

Thanks Anita for your reply.

Re: Dowager Hump

I have noticed that some women do seem to get one of these. I think I can even see a difference in my spine at the top, but it must definitely be an age thing. I try to keep my shoulders and back as straight as I can, but age takes over .
