Welcome Karen! That took alot of guts to quit your job to concentrate on making you well. I hope it never comes down to that for me. My job doesn't require heavy lifting or anything like that (thankfully), but it does require 10-11 hour days; most of that is spent at a computer typing and/or on the phone. My monitors are raised up to about eye level, i have a keyboard wrist rest and a wireless mouse. A huge problem for me is my lack of good posture. Also, my left hand/arm have gotten very weak over the last 18mo, and my fine motor skills are becoming worse; i'm pretty sure all the typing isn't helping. That being said, I've found that taking short breaks from typing to stretch helps, along with posture reminders. On top of that medication, heat, and relaxation techniques help. But i think i need a hot tub
