Living with chronic back pain is like dragging around a heavy backpack that nobody else can see. I remember a time I spent weeks curled up in bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering if anyone else could truly understand what I was going through.

Ever noticed those strange little specs, threads, or cobweb-like shadows drifting across your vision, but only in certain rooms? You’re not alone.
