I'll start: I tried to move a bookshelf while drunk about 6 years ago and tore a tendon in my shoulder pretty damn good. It still bothers me sometimes if I move it wrong or sleep on it wrong.

I sneezed about 5 years ago and I haven't been able to look up and to the right without pain since then. It's a minor pain, but definitely still there in my neck.

That's the worst direction anyway, not much going on there.

Have you had a doctor look at it? This worries me.

[-] BiggestBulb@kbin.run 1 points 7 months ago

I unfortunately can't afford that. It's not bad enough and hasn't changed at all over 5 years, so frankly the doctors here would likely just say "yes, just don't look that direction anymore"

[-] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 1 points 7 months ago

That sucks. I'd expect a doctor to at least try to find out what's causing it and if it's serious or not. I wouldn't expect them to tell you to "just don't look in that direction anymore". But then I don't know your doctors ofcourse.

Wishing you all the best and I hope your issue still gets resolved one way or another. And I hope it's nothing serious.
