@lotsofpain, if you don't mind sharing with the other members, what sort of treatments and coping mechanisms have you tried so far?

I don't have a formal diagnosis of Camptocormia . I have had back pain for years and my thigh muscles and hip flexors have been very tight. The MRI's show lots of arthritis , bulging and collapsed discs. Eventually I had a couple of injections but they did not help and arguably made things worse. I am now seeing a physio - courtesy of the NHS and a physio and osteopath at my own expense. I have been given stretching exercises but also some taping to force me to stand upright and stretch out the muscles
