This is from earlier in the year....I've been suffering from severe pain in the neck and shoulder region.
Got a couple of diagnoses: one is a brain situation that was revealed in an MRI - turns out I have a congenital disease called a Chiari malformation.
The other is just...well...bad posture and a whiplash kind of effect on my neck due to a lack of curvature in neck - called cervical lordosis.
So I've been working on neck exercises through regular physiotherapy. Even a day without exercise is terrible pain.
Pain is so....painful. All I want is to be pain-free but that feels like a distant dream sometimes.
