Do/did any of you have this??

  • I know this probably isn't the right place but I wanted to get some answers from people around my weight. Do any of you carry weight on the back of your neck, kind of in between your shoulder blades?? I've had a little bump/hump thing there since I was around 11 or 12. It doesn't look as bad as the kind that people with Cushing's Syndrome have, and my family always says it's not that noticeable. I'm just worried because I read that it's not normal to carry weight there, so I'm trying to decide if I should ask to be tested.
  • I have this too! I've been heavy my entire life and have always carried this "weight" on the back of my neck. I'm self conscious about it but realized I'm the only one who notices it (Yes I've asked friends to check it out! Maybe they are being "kind" but when one of them showed me she has an extra layer of fat back there and I realized I had NEVER noticed her's!) Long story short, I'm sure you're fine, probably worrying about it more than you should! If you feel there is a problem though follow up with your doctor.
  • I have this too but I've been told it's common in people who are overweight so I wouldn't worry.
