Hello,

It is really common. I see many of such cases every day.

If you could maintain proper posture while working than many problems could be avoided. I would suggest:

neck be held straight or slightly forward

keyboard be placed below the elbow level and the arms should be rested

foot should be flat on the ground when properly seated; if the feet are not reaching the ground when seated, use of a foot rest is recommended

back rest should be curved as spine curves

while sitting, the trunk and upper legs should be at an angle between 90 to 115 degrees. is it too complicated! try you will get used to..

When seated, the thighs should be parallel to the floor and the knees should be at about the same level as the hips.

Monitors should face you directly, avoiding excessive glare, providing comfortable vision

keep it 18-30 inches away and at the same height as the eyes

try these for 2-3 weeks and let me know how it works..

huum, can not say who wil attend, but your questions will be well handled.

chat function is two way confidential. doctor will not reveal his identity and also will not ask for user identity, if user willingly reveal than fine, or for a detailed reply one need to provide email id or OATH user id..
