I am overweight, but only 39. I have a noticeable "hump" on my upper back- where neck and back meet. I understand this to be a dowager's hump?
If I lose weight, does this minimize the hump? I have had this for years, but it's getting larger or maybe it's because I'm larger?!! Anybody have anything similar?

Sounds like kyphosis, kind of like scoliosis but a curvature of the spine from front to back instead of side to side. The opposite of lordosis, which is an anterior curve of the lower spine.

Hi there,
Just poking around and ran into your not so recent question [I hope you check your responses occasionally]. Have you ever heard of Cushing's Disease/Syndrome? Being overweight and especially that lump of fat at the top of your back are symtoms. Check out www.cushings-help.com for lots more helpful info.
