Hi everyone,
I wish I could spend more time on this forum but cannot sit for long at the computer due to intense sacro pain. After a short time, I have to go lie down. I got a new cushy chair but it doesn't seem to help much. I've tried pillows. I've tried standing but my knees & legs don't like that. I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions. Thanks, Linmarie |

Yep.. 1) Move that computer closer to your bed/couch and use the keyboard where you can.
2) get a lazyboy and put it on an angle or as close as you can then use keyboard on lap or tray.. recline helps me some. 3) get a laptop and use a pillow or tray.. but use board under laptop fans are underneith. good luck, |

Here's another thought...get a wireless keyboard and mouse. I use mine with my laptop, and hubby used his with the desktop. that way, I can get comfortable and still get online.

Hi Linmarie,
Just a couple of websites for you to look at. The blog, first link, has some pretty good tips all round for computer ergonomics and health: http://lifehacker.com/software/ergonomics/ http://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/ergon...ternative.html all the best |
