So basically... my back is fucked up. I had it x-rayed, and what was found made a lot of sense, but was still rather discouraging

I was always skeptical until I gave birth to my son and I could hardly walk. The chiropractor was a life saver in adjusting me.

Well, when you come to a point where you have no other option, you kind of lose the skepticism... I mean really, who else is going to fix your spine for you?

[bojojoti]

And I'm sorry about your spine, but it is good to know so that you can take care of your back.

Yeah, and I can already say it feels like 50% better... I can get in and out of bed without cursing now. :)

a basic search on the intarweb says that lumbarization on its own shouldn't cause any problems, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070505125743AA53dp7 I didn't see any information on the anatomic variation in any of my textbooks (Muscles: Testing and Function with Posture and Pain, 5th edition or Diagnosis and Impairment of Movement Disorders

Awesome that you know this stuff and can share materials with me. :)

I realise that this deformity shouldn't cause injury, but since I didn't know about it until October of this year (at 24 years old), I had already done a lot of damage to it and it had reached a really bad point. Not knowing about a deformity is not good.

I would appreciate any and all information on this. :)

I'm not saying the abnormality didn't cause injury, I'm saying it's not a death sentence. It's not going to end a potential dance career or kill any athletic ambitions you have. A lot of people have bigger abnormalities that never affect them, http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/27/sports/baseball/27dickey.html?_r=2&oref=slogin... )
