I just posted my story with Cushing's...I do have this hump you are referring to. I don't think it is too noticable to the "average" person but my NEW enocrinologist questioned it. My first one never said anything, nor had any DR I had seen. Did youever find any other answeres regarding this and Cushing's? I am eager to find "real" information on this.
Thanks.
