Horns are growing on young people’s skulls. Phone use is to blame, research suggests."New research in biomechanics suggests that young people are developing hornlike spikes at the back of their skulls — bone spurs caused by the forward tilt of the head, which shifts weight from the spine to the muscles at the back of the head, causing bone growth in the connecting tendons and ligaments. The weight transfer that causes the buildup can be compared to the way the skin thickens into a callus as a response to pressure or abrasion.
The result is a hook or hornlike feature jutting out from the skull, just above the neck."

I can’t tell if I have a horn. If I do it’s small but I could also just be touching the back of my head.
In terms of weird neck shit though I had this small cyst on the back of my neck that I lovingly referred to as my twin for like 4 years and then the other day at work it felt weird and I noticed it had started leaking like a zit would. Anyways, I cleaned it off but now my twin is gone. Plus side is dress shirts are more comfortable but the downside is I miss my twin a little bit

(that might also be how i lost my sense of smell...) fun times. i had to go through a ton of CT scans before they figured it out and then just gave me insanely strong antibiotics that basically put me in a coma for a week and said to not worry about the lump in my skull lol i much prefer this Horn thingy |

I've never had any issues with it and I always thought it was normal but one time a massage therapist got really concerned and made me promise I'd go to the doctor about it (I didn't)

I don't have a horn but I have some arthritis-like symptoms that I think are due to how I hold my phone.

I used to own a saxophone and I had a vuvuzela in the '80s before they were widely known in the U.S. as vuvuzelas.

Oh, good call. I do still own a sax, though I haven't played since college. Did not consider that before I voted.

I played sax, too. Let's offer to be the awesome horn section for a band or something.
