Dianne, thank you kindly for sharing your experience of a scalene block. Because I am likely to relocate internationally soon, I’m inclined to try it out in order to know whether it is a useful therapy prior to having to engage new medical professionals after relocation.

My work is office-based, with a lot of time spent in front of a PC. My employer has an occupational health section which includes an ergonomics advisor, who is also a nurse. Together we have made several adjustments to my work-station and I’ve subsequently made similar adjustments to my home work-station. Specifically:

Work

An electronic height adjustable desk
A BMA Ergonomics Axia Plus chair with a headrest, and with the arm-rests removed (because using them irritates my ulnar nerve)
An “Ergo-Cloud” ergonomic attached to my desk which my forearms rest on whilst using mouse+keyboard
A heavy-duty, height adjustable footrest

Home

Fixed height desk (on my list to replace)
A BMA Controller Chair with a headrest
Another Ergocloud or similar device
A heavy-duty, height adjustable and tilt-rocking footrest

I’ve found the BMA Axia Plus or BMA Axia Max chairs to be excellent in terms of support overall, support for the head or cervical spine specifically, and adjustability. I’ll post some pictures if you are interested.
