Any senior here have "tech neck" or "head forward position" from too much online time, etc? [View all]

What did you do for it?

Mine came on suddenly with too much online searching combined with carrying heavy packages for several weeks (husband in hospital - wanted outside food, computer equipment, etc).

I was just walking down the street one day about 2 months ago, with a heavy purse around my neck (cross body) and CLUNK - my head drifted down and now there's not getting it up. I did have a pretty pronounced dowager's hump before that.

Its ok when I wake up in the morning after a good night's sleep but by noon - head has drifted back downward.

Thanks for any advice!
