Muscular Tension Headaches

[Dravyk]

Ryan, this might help. Sounds like something I had a few years ago. I had this lovely pain shooting from my right fingertips to my right shoulder blade and up and down my arm. I had steroids and lots of stuff. This lasted four and half rotten months. (Every so often it flares up for, thankfully, very brief periods though.)

Bascially, my computer packed up. And I ended up using a laptop on a makeshift table, actually some stackable, moveable plastic storage cartons. So, I can't put my legs under, so I'm hunching more. The keyboard on the laptop of course isn't at the edge but four or six inches "further in", so more hunching. The table was not at my optimum height ... Point is, after six weeks of doing everything wrong -- totally wrong -- but different -- it went away!!

So even if you think you're doing something "ergonomic" ... you might not be ... and if you do something that seems totally screwed up, the fact your arms, upper body are in a different position to the one you normally are in ... it fixes it!!
That's why when the new computer came I made sure to have the cordless keyboard and mouse and change positions throughout the day. It helps!
