Comments	I am searching for a physician in our area who treats pectus carinatum with orthotics. I have contacted Arkansas Children's Hospital but they treat with surgery only. My daughter is 13 years old and is becoming very self-conscious about her condition. She was a preemie weighing only 2 lbs at birth and was diagnosed with BPD immediately. Perhaps her pulmonary condition has caused this. I don't know. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Comments	I'm 25 years old and after having a scan at my hospital have found that I have a pectus deformity. Although I've known it myself for quite a while before the "official diagnosis". It took me ages to build up the courage to go and see my GP who sent me up to the hospital for a scan. At the moment, my GP has "decided" not to mention the fact there are other options available. After gathering a lot of information, I'm making another appointment to see him.
Does your pectus deformity affect you psychologically?	Yes, It has effected my self-confidence very deeply. I choose clothes carefully to try and hid the deformity and don't go out much because of it. I won't go swimming in public because of it, and its a constant thing that I'm always thinking of, so basically its taken over my life.
Does your pectus deformity affect you physically?	Yes, I get a lot of pain from it especially if I do a lot of exercise, also when I lay down or just generally walking about. I've been told by the GP that its not affecting my health but I'm fed up with the constant pain I get because of it.
What do you think of this website?	This is a brilliant website full of usefull information. Thank you.

Comments	I'm a 30 yr old male, and until today, had no idea what my condition was called...as far as I knew, it was always a pigeon chest.
Does your pectus deformity affect you psychologically?	In ways, my deformity affects me psychologically, more so when I was younger. I've had a hairy chest for at least 6 or 7 years, which hides the fact that my rib cage sticks out. But when I was younger, I never met anyone or knew of anyone that had the same condition, and physical education at school, other kids would be quite hurtful in there comments. So as a result, I've become very conscious of my chest, but it doesn't really affect me in any other way.
Does your pectus deformity affect you physically?	Not really.
What do you think of this website?	Very informative

Comments	Thank you for some insight into pectus excavatum. I have a 18 month old daughter with this condition and have not been able to find a web site here in New Zealand to help with questions that concern her health. In the last six months it has become quite bad. The doctor has ordered x-rays at this stage. I am concerned as hers seems to be quite severe with being so little.
