Any butches with neck and shoulder issues?
Hello everyone!
Currently in a very frustrating situation. I’ve dealt with migraine for 10 years and it’s been well controlled but I am in a tough spot now where I’m dealing with occipital neuralgia and a myriad of problems with my neck/shoulders. This means binding is painful, and I don’t have any trans tape / similar brands of tape to sub out my binder with, only some non-compressing sports bras. Somewhat short on funds for substitutions right now too because I’m moving! Not being able to bind has led to me feeling really disconnected from my body and is affecting my mental health even more than the baseline chronic pain is.
Have any of you had this specific issue? It feels so isolating to have to not only deal with this really serious flare and the constant pain, but to feel so unlike myself because I can’t bind. I look in the mirror and feel awful. Just feeling quite down about myself and how I’m presenting :( Any advice or commiseration welcome!!!
