So here you have on the left my structure now and on the right (below this text) my structure before. The hump on my back is cut off by the back of the xray, but you can see that it keeps going on back much further. How everything aligns is way different...my teeth, the space where the back of my tongue is in relation to the back of my throat, the positioning of my vertebrae of course.The difference is amazing.

A little side note of interest.

The first time I looked at xrays of my head from the side I was fascinated by what looked like a free floating bone in the front of my throat. Maybe all of you know all about it, but since I didn't, I looked it up (how unlike me). And I'll share with you what I found:

The hyoid bone (the floating bone in front of the throat) The hyoid bone is a V-shaped bone above the larynx and is 'slung' from the jaw by a thick muscle, and the tongue is attached to the posterior aspect of the hyoid. Other muscles attach the larynx to the hyoid.

So now you know too.
