Pain in the Middle of January 2024

[dewline]

The muscles connecting my neck, shoulders, etc. have been irregularly aching for the better part of a week. I don't know if that's down to "sitting at the desk" posture, sleep postures, sudden movements while riding buses, some combination of those, or something else.

Look up stretches and exercises for “tech neck”? That sorts out a lot of neck/shoulder problems, as long as you start gently and at about half the recommended length/repetitions.

The wrong height of pillow can cause neck pain issues. I had to change pillows as it turned out the one i had been using was somewhat too low. Firmness of the pillow matters.

Suggestion for neck exercises: look for Tai Chi warmups. Don't go for just the neck things. Pain travels and as we age, it takes more effort to keep all our parts in shape. And two points: do any exercise for at least two weeks and if the exercise helps, keep at it, don't stop because if you do, the pain(s) will return, and they'll come back pissed! {8~P


Hope this helps.
