I’m sharing this because I know how isolating constant neck pain can feel, and I don’t want anyone else to think they have to just “live with it” the way I did.

For years, my neck and shoulders felt like they were carrying the weight of my entire life. Long hours at a desk, scrolling on my phone at night, and stress I never fully dealt with slowly turned into daily stiffness, headaches, and sharp pain that made it hard to focus. Some mornings, I’d wake up already exhausted. I worried about where it was heading—missed workdays, constant discomfort, and the fear that this would become permanent.
