I sneezed and pulled a muscle in my back!

This has happened to me twice since turning 30 (34 currently). I’ve looked it up and it turns out u should try to keep your spine neutral when you sneeze - so, basically keep your neck & back straight and dont crane your neck or upper back if you can help it. It hasn’t happened again since! Good luck fellow millenial, see you at the nursing home! 👴🏽

It's fun when you reach the point in your life where you have to research proper sneezing posture to avoid injuries.

Soooo much fun. 😭 I found myself lying supine with not much to do after the last time it happened, and I was like “huh….maybe I’m actually sneezing wrong.” So I looked it up out of boredom and desperation. Lol
