So got the report from the medical today and appartently I have something called Scheuermann's disease which I don't fully understand and am pondering on, as I've not any problems when I used to play football and didn;t have any problems when I went for the physical at the TA.
From what I've read about it and apparently
"Scheuermann's disease is a form of juvenile osteochondritis which usually affects several vertebrae, classically in the chest (thoracic) region.
The active stage of the disease usually affects 13-16 year olds and causes pain in the thoracic spine with rounding of the back.
After a few months the pain subsides to leave a slight forward stoop. Then, in later life there may be renewed backache from the development of osteoarthritis.
It maybe that you are suffering from this process of arthritis in previously damaged bones."
Also it means I might have a bad back for the rest of my life, great :( its a good job i have a doctors appointment on monday.
