    Is important that you have ergonomically correct furniture. Sit straight and keep in mind the monitor should not be too high or too low so your neck can be in a comfortable position.

    A number of employees in our offices had complained about neck & back pain - so we have invested in a number of ergonomic office furniture solutions. We also issued advice & instructions on workplace exercise & stress reduction classes. I'd suggest having a word with your HR department or investing in suitable ergonomic furniture

    If you think that's bad, I tried using PHP once. That caused me a substantial pain in the arse.

    Ho ho.

    If you feel pain, you're not working hard enough

    Get up, stretch and walk around frequently. Make sure you have a good chair. Ask for a raise.

    Google computer ergonomics for information on how to prevent this. In my case, the problem was with my forearm. The solution was to switch from a mouse to a trackball and to start doing more with the keyboard and less with the trackball/mouse.
