All those factors certainly sound like scoliosis. I would advise you to see your doctor and ask him/her to check. The doctor will just ask you to bend over and then he/she will trace his/her fingers down your spine to feel the extent of the curve, and may order an x-ray so he/she can measure the curvature to be sure. If your shoulders and hips are already out of wack, you need to ask your doctor as soon as possible so that you can be braced before it gets to the point of surgery. Scoliosis can be very dangerous, and in extreme cases may injure some of your organs, such as your lungs. Please get this taken care of.

Higher to lower.
What will higher temperatures do in a chemical reaction?
Higher temperature is responsible for higher kinetic energy of molecules therefore higher no of effective collisions among the reacting molecules and therefore higher rate of reaction.

If one shoulder is higher than the other what is this called?
scoliosis
What is the symptoms of scoliosis?
Shoulder height difference, leg length difference and hips being out of alignment. If the patient forward bends you will also see a shoulder blade protruding more than the other, this is a clear sign of scoliosis
What are the typical symptoms of scoliosis?
The typical symptoms of scoliosis include having one shoulder higher than the other, having one shoulder blade stick out more than the other, having one side of the rib-cage appear higher than the other, an uneven waist, a difference between the length of both legs, and having the body tilt to one side.
How do you know you have Scoliosis?
There are many ways to tell but a few are. * The Adams fowards Bending Test.(Here is a link on how to do it)http://iscoliosis.com/symptoms-screening.html There is also a video on how to do it on this link. * One of your shouldrs may be higher than the other. * One of your hips may be higher * Your body could be leaning to the side * One of your shoulder blades may stick out more * Your head isn't located directly above your pelvis * And just by someone looking at your back something is wrong.
What are the symptoms of scoliosis?
A crooked spine. It is treated with a back brace. One symptom of scoliosis is back pain. One indication of it is the shoulders not being even, one being higher than the other, the ribs being uneven, one hip higher than the other, these all vary according to the severity of the scoliosis and the location of it.
What would cause neck and shoulder pain and one shoulder to be higher than the other?
Sleeping on it the wrong way can be one of the causes.
What is the percent of people getting Scoliosis?
Scoliosis affects a small percentage of the population, approximately 2 percent. However, scoliosis runs in families. If someone in a family has scoliosis, the likelihood of an incidence is much higher - approximately 20 percent. If anyone in your family has curvature of the spine, you should be examined for scoliosis.

What are all the types of scoliosis?
Scoliosis curves are measured and expressed by degree. The higher the degree the more the scoliosis is said to be "severe".The normal thoracolumbar spine is relatively straight in the sagittal plane and has a double curve in the coronal plane. The thoracic spine in convex posteriorly (kyphosis) and the lumbar spine is convex anteriorly (lordosis). Normally there should be no lateral curvature of the spine.Double Major Curve: is difficult to identify as it causes only minor visual distortion. A double major curve is made up of two curves with nearly equal angles.Double Thoracic Curve: For type 2 DT curves, the general rule is to fuse both the PT and MT regions posteriorly. The upper end vertebra of fusion is usually either T2 (left shoulder high before surgery) or T3 (shoulders level, or, rarely, right shoulder high before surgery).Lumbar Major Curve: effects the lower part of the spine and often curves to the left.Main Thoracic Curve: or type 1 MT curves, the general rule is to fuse only the MT region, posteriorly, anteriorly, or, if occasionally required, circumferentially.Thoracolumbar Curve: is longer than most and extends from the upper to the lower spine. It may curve either to the right or the left.Triple Major Curve: For type 4 TM curves, the general rule is to fuse all three regions. Either the MT or TL/L region can be the major curve, but all three regions are structural.You have:Idiopathic Scoliosis - unknown causeCongenital Scoliosis - Abnormal lateral curvatureAdult Scoliosis - Scoliosis is discovered after the patient has stopped growingDegenerative Scoliosis - The adult who has pre-existing scoliosis will show signs of wear and tear or osteoarthritis (can happen to anyone as we age) - but because of the deformity, their spine starts to collapse and their curve can progress. The other type of person has no scoliosis to start with, but as he or she ages, the spine starts to show signs of wear and tear and it collapses asymmetrically. These individuals actually develop scoliosis later in life, even though they didn't have a pre-existing condition.Neuromuscular Scoliosis - is due to loss of control of the nerves or muscles that support the spine. The most common causes of this type of Scoliosis are cerebral palsy & muscular dystrophy.
How do you quit dropping your back shoulder while hitting?
try starting with your hands higher.
What causes scoliosis not including idopathic scoliosis?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ this is actually incorrect. IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS HAS NO KNOWN CAUSE you CANNOT get it from 'bending over too much' or 'carrying a heavy bag' you will get it regardless. other forms of scoliosis however have known causes yes it happens more in girls than boys, 2% of healthy boys will get scoliosis where as the percentge of girls is much much higher when i say healthy boys, i mean boys who have no health problems / disabilities scoliosis seems to go hand in hand with heart conditions other muscular diseases such as muscular distrophy / ostrophy etc. people often perk up at that when i say 'health problems' note, this does not include any mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety. mostly just heart and muscle conditions. (although scoliosis can cause other mental conditions to arise, sadly)
Can some drhelp you with scollissis?
I assume you mean scoliosis. Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine that occurs naturally in people. It is genetically inherited. The curvature is either a C or an S shape. Many people who have scoliosis have such a mild form of it that they don't need to do anything to treat it. It just stays as it is and doesn't affect their health. Some people suffer more severe socioliosis. It is possible to detect it when a person bends over to touch their toes. One shoulder and one hip is higher than the other. Initially sometimes a strong girdle/brace is used to treat scoliosis without surgery. There are mixed results on that one. When all else fails surgery is required. It is a painful surgery. Plates have to be inserted into the person's back in front of and behind the spinal column. They are held in place with nuts and bolts. These plates and the nuts and bolts are never removed or the scoliosis will return. It is a long, painful recovery. Teenagers and children tend to recover faster than adults but it can take up to one year to feel completely functional and healthy again.
