A few years ago I wrote an article on hobbies that could help take your mind off your pain. I had quite a reaction from that post so have decided to write another on this subject.
For me personally, my laptop and computer are my greatest hobby which takes me away from my pain into another place. I have both the laptop and computer in a position that does not irritate my neck and can honestly sit for quite some time without a break.
I also love writing, reading, making cards and baking but find these more challenging as they can all irritate my neck and back.
The list I have put together does include many things that you can do on a laptop or ipad but I would love some feedback as to whether these type of hobbies help take you away from your pain, be it just for a short time.
