First of all kyphosis (or round back) is a condition that causes one to have a "hunchback".

There are different kinds, those of which being Postural, Scheuermann's, and Congenital.

Postural kyphosis (M40.0), the most common type, normally attributed to slouching, can occur in both the old[1] and the young. In the young, it can be called 'slouching' and is reversible by correcting muscular imbalances. In the old, it may be called hyperkyphosis or dowager’s hump. About one third of cases have vertebral fractures.[2] Otherwise, the aging body tends towards a loss of musculoskeletal integrity[3], and kyphosis can develop due to aging alone.[4][2]
Scheuermann's kyphosis (M42.0) is significantly worse cosmetically and can cause pain. It is considered a form of juvenile osteochondrosis of the spine, and is more commonly called Scheuermann's disease. It is found mostly in teenagers and presents a significantly worse deformity than postural kyphosis. A patient suffering from Scheuermann’s kyphosis cannot consciously correct posture[5]. The apex of the curve, located in the thoracic vertebrae, is quite rigid. The patient may feel pain at this apex, which can be aggravated by physical activity and by long periods of standing or sitting. This can have a significantly detrimental effect on their lives, as their level of activity is curbed by their condition; they may feel isolated or uneasy amongst peers if they are children, depending on the level of deformity. Whereas in postural kyphosis the vertebrae and disks appear normal, in Scheuermann’s kyphosis they are irregular, often herniated and wedge shaped over at least three adjacent levels. Fatigue is a very common symptom, most likely because of the intense muscle work that has to be put into standing and/or sitting properly. The condition seems to run in families.
Congenital kyphosis (Q76.4) can result in infants whose spinal column has not developed correctly in the womb. Vertebrae may be malformed or fused together and can cause further progressive kyphosis as the child develops.[6]. Surgical treatment may be necessary at a very early stage and can help maintain a normal curve in coordination with consistent follow ups to monitor changes. However, the decision to carry out the procedure can be very difficult due to the potential risks to the child. A congenital kyphosis can also suddenly appear in teenage years, more commonly in children with cerebral palsy and other neurological disorders.

Quote taken from Wikipedia if you wish to read it you can, if not you don't have to.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else suffers from any of the following. I myself have postural kyphosis. So yes, I am a hunchback. Also if anyone has any commentation on it be my guest.

I don't suffer from it but i do realise myself slouching alot. Its not very good and i try t sit up straight but it doesnt last long. I can imagine it is a difficult thing to live with if you have the serious form. Do you get any serious back pains ? does lumbar support help?

I do get back pains every once and a while, and it causes my breathing to be shallow. And lumbar support doesn't help much because it's mainly for lower back.

There is away around this with special exercises you can do for like 15 to 30 mins a day. My uncle seems to slouch alot becuase he does alot of driving and he saw a posture specialist to help him. One of the exercises was to lay flat on the flor with your head proped up in line with your spine ie using some books or something and stay there for 5 or 10 mins to help straighten the spine.
Have you heard of anything like this?

I've heard of some stuff to do. I'll probably either get a back brace or go to Physical Therapy, and that's what they'd make me do...stuff like that anyways.

well to be honest it might be a alittle full on and hard work with a back brace. You know what people are like. Give physical thrapy our best shot and try playing some sports and standing up getting physical better than sat down all day not saying you do that buy you know what i mean. Good luck
