Anyone have flat back syndrome?

Hi @gratefulnhopeful, Thank you for starting this discussion. I think you may have given me a new condition for something I have been experiencing since my mid fifties (I'm 81). That's when my wife told me I walk like an old man leaning forward. I thought I had a condition similar to bent spine syndrome (camptocormia) but flat back syndrome sounds more like what I have after reading a little about it. I don't have real pain in my lower back but I've always felt this kind of pressure that is hard for me to explain which makes it hard for me to walk any distances without stopping to rest. Trekking poles have helped me walk better upright. I think I might discuss this with my PCP and see if I can get some PT to learn some new exercises to go with the ones I'm currently doing.
