Hi everyone,

This is my first post here.

I have been experiencing sharp pains in my shoulders, chest and sides since I had a second VP shunt fitted, after 11 years with my first, in March. I find that a heat pad helps a lot, though the pain is worse when I am working for a long time at a desk.


I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any particular sitting positions that could help with the pain while I'm at school. I am in my last year of A-Levels, but can be distracted from my studies by this.
