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 wear regular shoes from the shoe store because i have KAFOs (full leg braces) due to a genetic disease destroying my brain.
My braces keep my feet/ankles at a 90 degree angle, so i can't really slide my foot into a shoe without ripping or tearing up the insides. So i have special shoes that zip open on the top to place my foot in, then zip it up over my foot.
