I am having a stiff neck!

Time is really fast. It is almost October again. I am sitting here Mylotting for more than 2 hours now. I am using our computer as my Ipad is charging. I don´t want to waste time as I was not here the whole afternoon. I was food shopping and did some errands. Then I was chatting with my friend who lives in Bavaria. My friend and I talked for an hour and arranged a weekend together in their place. I am looking forward to that. Now, I have to end my post as I am already having a stiff neck caused by writing online with our computer. I have to do a neck exercise and sit on the massage chair for a few minutes. Do you get a stiff neck sitting in front of your computer for at least an hour? I do. There is also a feeling of pins and needles in my hands. Time to say Goodnight! Have a blessed weekend everyone!

@thelme55 Oh, you have scoliosis. I think that is the side effect of having scoliosis. You get stiff neck.

Maybe I have overused my neck @SIMPLYD. I have scoliosis and might be a reason why I get that. Thank you.

It’s usually my lower back that I’m having problems with if I sit too long. Anyway, I’m going to sleep too. Goodnight!

Carpel Tunnel causes needles and pins, in the hands. With a laptop, a person looks down to type. With a desktop we look up, at the screen. I hope your neck is better, Thelma:) I will pray for you.

I don't have carpal tunnel syndrome but scoliosis which cause this problem. My neck is better now after sleeping. I will put an alarm for myself to take a break from online writing or reading. Thank you @kobesbuddy. Have a nice weekend.

@thelme55 I had no idea that scoliosis affected your hands. But, the back and shoulders do affect the hands, for sure.

@kobesbuddy It seems that it is affected as when I have a stiff neck, my hands are cribbling and pins and needles as well.

If your monitor isn't level with your head then your neck and back can get sore. My chiropractor told me to put books under my monitor to raise it up higher.

I have already put cushions on my chair. Still the same. Maybe that is the way I sit that gives me a stiff neck. Thank you @shaggin.

You have stiff neck in the morning? Maybe that is the result of not sleeping in the right position. I have that sometimes.@Letranknight2015 Enjoy your weekend.

I only use my desktop when I list items for ebay. I use my lap top the rest of the time.

It is recommended that you take a break every 20 minutes. Make sure you computer is not too high, too low or out of comfortable reach ! hope you feel better soon!

I am better now but I have to put on the alarm clock for that. My computer is just right as I have put a cushion on my chair. Thank you for the idea @garymarsh6

Not me but my back starts to hurt. I think after an hour you can take a break and then come back on.

Sometimes I just forget to take a break from the computer. So I think I have to use an alarm for this problem. Thank you @Ladanger. Have a nice day.

I'm sorry you get a stiff neck from sitting at the computer. I'm sure I would too if I used my regular bifocals instead of my computer glasses.
