Hoping someone can relate to me since I’m assuming everyone that works from home does from a computer. I have noticed this pain in my neck when I used to work at a call center in a billing department and was getting yelled at all day. I don’t think I can stop it or prevent it. I carry all that stress in my neck and just naturally hunch up my shoulders. It went away the first time, I think after adjusting to the job but I started having those pains again while at my current job. we started a new, extremely stressful project. This time though I can not get it to stop. It’s been 2 months now.
My coworker recommended getting Botox in my shoulders. I guess the internet calls it “trap tox” and should stop my body for tensing up. Has anyone tried this? Looking for suggestions if trap tox will provide the relief I am desperate for.
FWIW I have tried taking stretch breaks during the day. I have used muscle relax rubs, chiropractor, massage, Solanpas patches, etc. These things are nice relief in the moment but don’t stop the pain. Just help with relief after the fact. It goes away when I take time off but comes right back after a long day at my desk.
