I used to think shin splints were just a runner’s rite of passage. But after a year of ignoring my sore legs and pushing through the pain, I realized the real problem wasn’t just in my shins — it was higher up the chain. Turns out, my back was working overtime to compensate for those…
It’s 2 a.m., the office lights are humming, and I’m staring at the screen when I notice them again—those squiggly shadows drifting across my vision. At first, I thought I was just tired. But they didn’t go away. If you’re like me and you work night shifts, chances are you’ve seen these too. Welcome to…
There I was, standing up too quickly after a long Netflix session, when it hit me—a sudden wave of little drifting specks clouding my vision. I blinked. They didn’t go away.
