Thank you Annie for your response. Today was much better. I lounged around all day and didn't do much of anything. I'm right handed and I tend to lean towards the left. Years ago a chiropractor said I have an S shaped spine and said that I would lean on one leg and tilt my head to one side as a result. That may be why this is unilateral.

My daughter looked at the bony protrusions on my back, I think it's my scapula. She said my right scapula is closer to the spine than my left. I'm not sure but this may also be because of the S shaped spine.

My doctor recently ordered the wrong xray (lumbar) so I'll tell him I need an xray of the thoracic. I'm sure he'll see some things going on in the lumbar since I do occasionally have pain in my lower back on the left side, but I definitely want him to take a look at the area of my back that is more bothersome.

Right now I'm seeing a PT for heel spurs and I'm going to request getting a PT for my other issues. The stretches were causing weakness at first but I lessened the repetitions.

Maybe I need to lay down more often during the day and see if that lessens the problem with my back.
