When I look down slightly at my computer monitor on my desk I get the most horrendous and awful migraine headaches because my head acts as a counterweight and gives me a migraine that makes me want to cut off my own head and pain that makes me feel beaten up all over my body. Pain shoots down my extremities and I feel like I want to vomit when I’m supposed to be productive at work.
If I lower my office chair so my head is level when I look at the computer monitor, I’m so short that the keyboard tray on my desk is too high and gives me a slight shrug while I work. Bam! More migraines and pain.
It took
years to find the right person to tell me the cause of my very real but mysterious pain issues are a poor ergonomic work station not tailored to someone of my petite stature.
I’m just a small pint size girl living in a lanky world. Short girl problems.
Luckily, since I already use a desk with a lowered keyboard tray, it was easy to adjust my office chair to to make sure my arms are wrists are parallel to my keyboard and remove the slight shrug when I type. I use an
adjustable office desk foot rest to make sure my feet touch the ground otherwise my knees ache because my feet dangle.
