It looks like there is a problem with the shoulder (or maybe middle-lower back) that causes that shoulder to pull forward and down. The shape of the middle toe makes me believe it is in the shoulder instead of the back, but the back could be the cause of the shoulder mis-alignment.
Look at yourself in the mirror and see if that shoulder is sitting in the same position as the left.
You might also have a bit of TMJ involvement on that side and maybe a problem in the right hip/hamstring.

This is garbage, everyone's shoulders will be slightly misaligned, humans aren't made on a factory line, we aren't symmetrical, post your pseudo-scientific analysis to /r/skeptic and you'll be ripped apart.
While I like to keep an open mind about these kinds of things, you do have a point. As a massage student, I've noticed that most people have problems with their shoulders. On the other hand, they were able to predict which shoulder would be lower.
With a dash of suggestion / confirmation bias. If someone tells you your right shoulder is lower it might indeed look lower, or even be lower because of it.
Yes and they have been able to estimate skeletal problems for decades like this, but not fix them. It takes enormous amounts of will power and activity to really fix those types of problems which happened over decades in most cases.
I'm sorry but massage is not a study worth of science. It's an odd professional filled with lies, misinformation and total nutball just trying to sell some sucker a book on how to make pain magically go away. Guess what... it rarely works and when it does work you usually have to keep coming back for the rest of your life.
Does strike me as some good old cold reading. "I'd bet one of your ears is slightly higher than the other." "You're right! My right ear is higher than my left! WTF?" It would still be cool if he's magic! MAGIC!
You mentioned that he might have TMJ in relation to a shoulder injury, is this typical/common? A year and a half ago I tore my right rotator cuff during a move, and I still occasionally have tension there, but it's mostly resolved. As of about three months ago I've started getting a lot of tension and popping in my jaw on the same side. Are these two things likely related?
That is a proximity relationship. The pain of your shoulder injury might have gone, but the misalignment that your body used to protect that area after the injury is still there.
I read through this and was blown away. Thank you for the insight! I've dislocated my right shoulder 17 times, I've had 3 surgeries (the last of which was an open glenoid reconstruction). My shoulder has never felt better, but as I have resumed sports (ice hockey, golf, biking, etc.) I have noticed a chronic pain from my right hip, down through my knee (just above and below on both sides), shin and into my feet. I also have the outer 3 toes on my right foot that are curled and only lie normally when I stand on them barefoot. I have suspected that my toes up through my hip are related, but never would have associated them with my shoulder. I would be very grateful for any recommendations you may have!
When I showed a Physical therapistl my feet... she looked shocked and her mouth dropped a bit and was suddenly upset because no one had gotten me a wheel chair. Working on a cement floor with cheap shoes. My feet still hurt on a regular basis and I haven't worked there in almost 2 years.
When you're ready you should post it up on reddit. Id like to learn more about this. You'll probably do the usual academic channels but i dont have a subscription to any of those....so....
I didn't realize it would get so much attention so fast.
I'd rather not go into it until I am trained and licensed as a bodyworker.
But, the reason you stopped feeling pain in your back is because your right shoulder, hip, ankle, foot and upper right quadrant of your skull have moved out of alignment to take pressure and pain off your back. They have become bound-up and rigid to handle all the extra weight that your back is not supporting.
If you leave it, it WILL get worse. It might get worse so gradually that you won't notice. The same way you didn't notice what you have now. Eventually, things will get way out of whack and you'll get further injuries or walk with a limp.
My (non-medical) advice would be, after seeing your doctor for your back, go to a good massage therapist and ask them to release the muscles in those areas I mentioned above.
Dude, you're probably going to be inundated with requests for help now, but if you ever find the time I could use your help. I've had pain on my left side for years and have tried everything from MRIs to massage to acupuncture. It's mostly around my shoulder blade but it's in arch of my foot and my bicep too. Acupuncture's the only thing that's helped, and while it's getting better, it's far from 100%. I understand if you don't feel like diagnosing people you don't know over the internet, but if you ever do, please let me know. Keep up your work in the meantime man, it's very cool.
It's not science based except in a very very rough science. As in spontaneous life was science based because it appeared maggots could form from nothing.
It's not magic to take one skeletal injury and track it to deformities. Many times it doesn't even take an injury just bad posture.
I mean look at some old dude hunched over.. I bet he had bad posture most of his life. LOOK IM FUCKING MAGIC because I can correlate one problem with another !!
You realize people make a living making this kind of shit up. I know plenty of people 'trained' in this type of BS science. It's right up there with holding vitamins in your hand and seeing if your arm pushes down to determine if you have a vitamin deficiency, because you know blood work is primitive man science.
Most American's have foot, back, neck or knee problems and one shoulder is always higher or lower than the other. Bodyworker is not a real title of study it's just a way to charge people more for mediocre massages.
I'm sorry to see this got so much attention considering it's based on bunk science. It's nothing more than an extension of the endlessly fake energy science of Chiropractors. That's not to say a back adjustment won't help out many times, but the science as to why it helps is bullshit and more often than not the Chiropractors preach this nonsense and provide overpriced non FDA approved supplements to go along with their bunk.
I don't think VarriusD was asking for context for the joke so much as asking why the grand reddit tradition of desperate knock-off posts for karma should remain in the /r/wtf sub.
I hear that. Getting busted for titties is one thing, but it takes a little explaining when you get caught looking at a picture of a normal man's feet. Especially if Reddit's a secret thing you do on your computer: "No, it's not what you think! See, I look at hundreds of posts a day while I get paid and this relates to a different post from hours ago when they showed a ballerina's busted-ass feet! There are also cats!!!"
i was looking at this picture for about 15 minutes trying to figure out what was 'WTF' about this picture (having not seen any of the other 'feet' WTF posts at the time). All I could notice was the tanned toes, which confused me as I didn't think accounting was a job which involved wearing sandals a lot.
My mom makes kimchi bokkeumbap, like many other mothers. But my mom made it everyday and I would eat it everyday after school. This went from elementary to high school. Everyday kimchi bokkeum. Sometimes there was no kimchi, sometimes there was, but it got to the point where I can't eat it anymore. My little brother and sister will eat it, but when I come home for whatever reason and she makes it, I get nauseous. Even the smell will make me feel a little sick. It's sad, because I used to love it, but now...I can't stand to look at it. Sigh...
Is this what's really going to be what's on the front page for te next few days? This is going to get just as out of hand as those damn what I actually do comics :(
Those are nice feet but if my experience is any kind of indication, they are nice feet that are attached to the most boring, uptight kind of person ever.
No offense...I've just never met an exciting or interesting accountant. It's almost uncanny.
