Hello,

I have posted this under an annoymous name as I am a physio and I feel that I should really know the answer. I am fit healthy individual but with a terrible 'un physio' posture:- FHP, increased kyphosis of the thoracic spine (I have a very prominent boney thoracic spine which I have had manipulations on in the past P/A as this is the area where I tend to ache - between the shoulder blades). I also have a very increased lordosis of the LX. I work in the community and rather sillily I carry around a rather big and full ruc sack on my back. About 1.5 months ago, i noticed that where the ruc sack was resting on my back, it was very painful on my T9 level of my spine. Since then, my T9 continues to be very sore on slight touch or if increased pressure is accidently applied to it. i still wear my ruc sac daily but it is positioned on a part of my back where it won't put pressure on my T9. I have booked a GP appointment and I am worried that this could be the start of a problematic back problem - does anyone have any thoughts on what this could be? I tend to hinge on my L1/L2. It is not painful on the T spine levels below and above T9. I always try to adopt a corrected posture, and always incorporate my core tummy muscles.
I have no neuro signs and hopefully won't go on to develop any.

I would be grateful for any suggestions
thanks
