Posted on Wed, 3 Aug 2016

Question: I have pain on my right lower back not at all times but it is effecting my ability to do simple things my hips are uneven and my stomach is distended and feels as though it is pulling me forward just below my breast line. My posture is horrible and it is hard to stand up straight. The right side of my back also bows out farther than the left side it also feels firmer than the left side. I am 63 and 5'1" I have an average build except for my belly. I was told just recently that I have some scoliosis (sorry don't know haw to spell that) I had some physical therapy but it was after that I had the pain in the one area.
