I had a similar experience from using those silly finger pads or the little red buttons in the center of the keyboard of some laptop computers. I even watched as a guy from work was rushed to the hospital one day after he experienced chest pains and thought he was having a heart attack. The thing is, your body was never meant to be pushing down on a hard surface with a single finger for hours at a time. It will not only cause neck and shoulder pain, but chest, leg and back pain. The solution is to get a mouse to attach to your laptop. Let me guess…you’re using a laptop.

It has to do with sitting in 1 position for long periods of time. You are sitting still with your neck staring at a screen and your shoulders are supporting your arms. You have to find a position for your monitor, keyboard and mouse that are more comfortable for your body. I have had the same problem periodically but, I stretch alot while I'm at the computer. You can try doing some exercises that would also strengthen your neck and shoulders. That will help a little bit but, mostly the positioning of monitor and keyboard.

How about the way that your computer screen sits on your computer- the distance from your sitting position. Look at your chair, your viewing distance, your screen angle, keyboard height- over time if you are not sitting correctly- your muscles will become tight, painful and you can have resulting neck and shoulder pain. Take frequent breaks at the 10 minute mark to stretch your muscles. Do you ever notice that you you are raising up your shoulders when you are at the computer for a long time? Yes there is a cure for this- but make changes today. Hi Parag- its not just the way that you sit- that is definitely part of it.
