Current Question Adult SMA
Hi, this is my first time on this site and wondered if it is the sma that is causing my incredible back pain.When i sit up straight it feelslike there is an enormous weight pressing down on my spine(its from the neck down) it feels as if the spine is being crushed with severe discomfort around the ribs. Also at night it feels like i have weights on my chest crushing the bones, and it is harder to breath laying flat. Any advice would be most welcome. I had polio as a child so my spine wasn't strong to begin with.
