This sudden, painless bending of your torso (sometimes called Pisa syndrome) can occur due to advanced spinal arthritis, a silent vertebral compression fracture, or a neurological muscle imbalance. Since you have long-standing untreated arthritis, a medical evaluation with spinal imaging (like an X-ray or MRI) is the essential first step to find the cause. Treatment depends on the diagnosis. If it is muscle-related, muscle relaxants like baclofen may be prescribed. If a bone issue is detected, bone-strengthening medications like bisphosphonates may be recommended. Please consult your doctor or a neurologist promptly for a safe, personalized evaluation.
