Maria is right Mark, this has been a problem from Augusts surgery. I have discussed it with my spine surgeon who showed me that i do not have a flat back. My lumbar lordosis is lower than normal . My head is already in a forward position also.
My doc said that when and only when everything is healed from the surgery last August he will take a standing x-ray and check out my alignment. It does tire out my upper back when walking as well.
Thanks for thinking out loud and I think you surely did make up a new word.

Well one foot is corrected. I have not read anything about flat back effecting toes, but it does affect knees and hips , oh joy!!
