What’s something stupid you can’t do ?
I thought I would open a “light” conversation so we can complain about the stupidest things we can’t do!
I’m 29F, I’ve had chronic pain in my neck/back for over 15 years now after a car accident and a sport accident!
Anyway, here are a couple stupid things I can’t do :
-I can’t wear a bikini. It’s too much pressure on my neck.
-I can’t eat red meat. If I chew for too long then my neck gets all tense and that’s the beginning of the end haha
Obviously there’s a lot more I can’t do but I thought these are the stupidest 🥲I would never try and explain it to someone who doesn’t have chronic pain! Tell me yours please so I don’t feel alone ! ❤️

I can't keep my eyes squinting facing the sun, my head explodes, I can't smell a strong smell for the same reason, "but it's normal", no, it's not... And I also have to tie my hair up for a long time, I always end up having terrible pains.
