looks like it to me.
one side seems to have more muscle or bulk in the shoulder area or scar tissue? 
It's hard to tell if all these are the normal for you or if it was due to the postures at the time of the x rays.
Maybe do an internet search for other xrays that are similar postures to compare? |
Pretty much a Yes to all of your questions--except that I was standing straight--or at least, I was trying to. However, I don't exactly know what to think about the R-shoulder having more "muscle or bulk" than the L. That is--Yes, the muscles on my R-side are ONLY slightly more developed than the left, but I don't think this is what we are "seeing". I'm guessing we are seeing "swelling" from some chronic condition. There is obviously a big difference in size and appearance, but apparently my health care providers didn't notice. Thank you very much. This is why I am here. Actually, I didn't notice this size-difference until you expertly pointed it out. This will definitely be one more point of interest that I'll bring to the attention of my health care providers.
What I did readily notice about this xray is the difference in appearance of the bone(s) "structure".
