Asked By:starkayla23 in North Chili, NY

I have back neck and shoulder pain, and deep marks from bra straps and bad posture. I find it very difficult to sit or stand up straight without extreme back pain, and it is difficult to work out because of the stress on the tissue whenever I do any form of vigorous movement. I have been this size for about 4 years. I also have slight scoliosis. I know I am a bit underweight and this is partially due to a fear of becoming even more disproportionate if I were to put on any weight.
