Thank you for sharing those pictures. I have done a lot to try and improve my ergonomic situation as I am dealing with the early onset of this syndrome. My question and perhaps this is a difficult one… Is how much computer work you realistically do per day. I have the beginning stages of TOS and am interested in improving and or eliminating my symptoms. I have found improvement doing some PT, but I want to make sure my career will not force my symptoms return and/or worsen. My fear and irrational thought just to quit my job and never touch a computer again. But that is obviously unrealistic, and physical therapy is not cheap. So I have no choice but to work and I'm hoping to find a way to continue doing it.

I have bilateral symptoms though they are manageable. But I make my living at a computer and am concerned about being able to work despite having this issue. My workstation is very ergonomically set up, but I realize that reducing my amount behind the screen will ultimately help too.

On average, how often are you taking breaks? And during those breaks, what are you doing? I have been doing scalene stretches as well as back and shoulder stretches to try and get my shoulders loose.
