I have recently been diagnosed with camptocormia. In my research I learned it has been given an updated name - Bent Back Syndrome (BBS). The name change was done to get rid of the stigma of it being a psychiatric disorder. During WWI, it was thought of like shell shock or battle fatigue. That is no longer the case. Besides BBS, I have Parkinsonism, type undecided. Three to 18% of PDers have BBS but I'm not finding it in PD books. Two years ago I had extensive back surgery which failed. A year ago I had all the hardware replaced. Now my back is fine; no more back pain. The reason I mention the back surgery is a hunch that it had something to do with BBS. If I can figure out the "whys" maybe I can figure out what to do about it and reduce the severity of symptoms.
