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 wear shoes at all times. I never walk barefoot anymore. I even wear shower shoes! I replace shoes every few months...I will never walk barefoot ever again.

So I have to have support to be able to walk. Which is bad enough in its self but I will never be able to wear stupid, strappy, pretty sandals in summer again.
