I've experienced this in terms of general problem solving abilities as well. A car accident has me suffering from TOS (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome) which triggers severe pain down my left arm after sitting at a desk for 20minutes. Once the pain starts, i find that my productivity and thinking ability takes a nose dive despite my attempts to look past it. Chronic pain is truly debilitating.
- __blockcipher__ 8y agoI’ve noticed that long hours hunched over a desk coding without good breaks/posture triggers TOS-like symptoms for me. Every few days I’ll foam roll the shit out of my thoracic spine and it helps a good bit.

It would start going numb starting at the fingertips while I was typing, blowing glass, and then at its worst, anytime I laid her down. I would wake up with my arm completely numb. I thought it was carpal tunnel, and vitamin D seemed to help. Now I know that it was an autoimmune reaction, which was not expected. We rely on our bodies to work, and that’s that. It’s amazing how pain in one little part of the body which you otherwise never even think of can suddenly make life almost impossible.
