I would dearly love to take you up on that massage offer. Yay timing and distance. :7

(This is all right arm, incidentally. Yay for overmousing.)

I've tried position changes and I think the chair is set up to make those difficult. :7 The arms are too long so it's hard to get the keyboard in close enough for me to be comfortable. I have a similar problem at work but it doesn't kick in until I've been here for nine hours or so. (Which isn't a problem most days, but sometimes. . .)

I came in thinking it was a rotator cuff problem. All the phys.ther seems to have fixed that as much as it's going to. Now it seems to be a lot of tension between the shoulder blade and the spine, pulling on the shoulder. E pounded on it last night, she might be able to give you a better idea of what's going on.

The places that hurt just 'on their own' without any prompting from bad computer use are down the outside of the upper arm (to about halfway down) and at the front between the chest and shoulder.

Specific things that hurt include holding the arm up at a 45 degree angle and back slightly, and putting my hands behind my head and pressing the elbow back. Pain's sharpest between chest and shoulder, and there's a stretch in the outside upper-arm. And wall-angels: back against a wall, knees bent, arms in L-shape against the wall, raise them to touch fingers over your head. Those hurt like hell. When I started phys.ther I couldn't even press my arm all the way back against the wall.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
