I am 40 and have been doing computer stuff since I was 13. I have always had lower back pain, and moderate carpal-tunnel-ish wrist pain.
The last 2 years however, I've been suffering some insane "migraines", often but not always after an intense work session (even just a few hours sometimes). My neck and head kills, I feel nauseous, sensitive to light and sound, and generally shitty.
I still haven't had a proper diagnosis, but I think it might be "cervicogenic" headaches, basically a headache starting with neck nerves.
Working on neck retraction excercises a few times a day to hopefully help. But as I get older and will likely keep working for a long time, this stuff is so important to sort out.
- zer00eyz 2y ago> "migraines" Get your thyroid levels checked. Make sure you follow the directions for fasting. Make sure you go in the afternoon. Better safe than sorry.
- jimmux 2y agoVery similar situation for me. I've been diagnosed with chronic migraine. I always had it to some degree, but the last few years have been worse. The most consistent trigger is working more than about 6 hours in a day.
