I lead a bit of a stressed life, as most of us do. I attend highschool, college classes, sat preps., etc. And am often stuck lugging about a 45 pound bookbag. Now this, included with stress, seems to have caused my back to hunch. Alright, my neck to hunch. I asked my mother(who is a lpn) about it, and she claimed that it was purely stress that made the nape of my neck bulge so. It has been two years now since I was transformed into quasimodo. I can't tie my hair back for long periods of time since I become concious of my affliction and feel the need to hide it. My back often aches and all in all it is unsightly and distressing. Could anyone explain/confirm what it could be and what I might do to straighten it up?
