left shoulder and lat smaller

For some reason it seems my right side grows faster than the other side. Ive been doing research and came up with a few ideas. I have klippel feil syndrome which is an abnormality in the neck vertabrae being fused together. So its saying that being that the vertabrae are attached to the nervous system it effects growth somehow and how each side of the body is effected differently. Does anybody have an idea about this?

my left pec and left arm are actually bigger, i always just assumed its because the heart is on that side equaling more blood flow on that side, probably nothing too do with it, but it is common, ive spoken with quite a few dudes in the gym with same issue, ive started chucking an extra 5kgs on the right side during chest days (bench) to try even it up.

I'm not sure about your specific condition but I have several bodyparts where the right is bigger than the left or vise versa.
Right tricep bigger than left. Left bicep bigger than right. Left arm 1/2" bigger than right although not noticable to the eye.

are you saying you have this syndrome? or that is what you came up with? if your vertabrae in the neck are fused you have some real problems

Nothing has brought up yet about it. He wanted to try to correct my spine first because i have mild scoliosis also. I would have never known any of this if it wasnt for the x rays i took.

it all depends on if the nerves are permanently damaged it will affect how you develop .. depending on the extent it may be unnoticeable .... I would def ask about the fusion that is not good
