Does your back feel "tired" after typing all day? (SM)


Posted: Jan 20, 2010

I am thinking that it may be that my chair is just worn out, no support, etc.  After typing all day my spine feels "tired."  I cannot really explain it any better, it does not really hurt or ache.  Curious if anyone else experiences this.

TIA

My back is usually aching by the end of the day. I - wannie

have a herniated disk at about L3-L4 or so, so that doesn't help any either.

Leg Pain When Doing TypingJan 25, 2011
Does anyone else get leg cramping/aching while they type?? I used to get them when I started and then it went away, but lately its been getting me again especially in my upper outer thigh. Its not so much an instant leg cramp sensation, just more of a achy feeling (like if you're on a plane) that does go away after I stand up.  Any suggestions?? ...

Typing RaceJul 04, 2010
Thanks to the person who mentioned "Typing Race" online as a way to increase typing speed. (Can't remember what forum.) It is so fun and addictive. Maybe I am just web-illiterate but I had never heard of it before. I am re-learning to type on a Dvorak keyboard, to help my carpal tunnel, and it was sort of (very?) discouraging to be reduced to slow, hesitant typing. But Typing Race is making it so much more fun. Sometimes you get matched up against the same people on different races and the ...

Been Typing All Weekend For Someone With LaryngitisFeb 11, 2013
Her laryngitis is getting worse.  The 3 minute dictation was bad and all the ones that ensued (about 8 of them).  Then i about flipped with a 6 minute dictation by her still with layrngitis AND NOW A 20 MINUTE DICTATION!!!!  WITH LARYNGITIS!!!! I mean cmon, man, can't you wait a day or two till you have your voice back? Okay, just had to vent.  Now I feel better (except that I'm only half finished and I've already got about 15 blanks).  I can deal with e ...

Question Regarding Any MT Having Right Shoulder Problems TypingJul 07, 2010
Hi all:  Has anyone had trouble with right shoulder hurting, burning type pain, tired, feeling like your arm is going to fall off and making right triceps weak after sitting at the computer so long.   I have been to doc twice, on pain pills, muscle relaxers, NSAID, hot tub for muscle soreness.  I have not been to the neurosurgeon yet.  I think it is a pinched nerve causing this as I searched symptoms on line and this is pretty close to what I am having.  Driving me ...

Extreme Fatigue, Tingling In Back, Back Pain Mar 05, 2013
I know it is the most common complaint doctors hear - and for years I have had the stressed-tired-overworked fatigue - I know how that one feels.  But this has been going on a couple of months.  I am bone tired even after I sleep a lot.  My blood work showed I am hypothyroid so I started on medicine and also some supplements for that.  But nothing seems to be helping.  I have pain/fatigue across the area of my back right at the braline.  My arms and neck feel heavy. ...

Im So TiredSep 18, 2012
Can anyone help me? I have hit a serious dead end. I feel unappreciated, unloved, unwanted, and every other "un" you can think of. I am tired of cooking dinner, doing the dishes, doing the laundry, cleaning the damn house, making sure every one has everything, and tired of working my sore fingers to the bone. I look out the window and feel as if the world is passing me by. People going places, smiling, laughing, having fun, and I want that. What happened? Where did my life go? Does anyon ...

So Tired.Dec 17, 2012
I'm late to the gun debate on the boards, because I needed time to calm down after Friday's tragedy.  I didn't want to come here all emotional and start swiping at people and coming up with totally unrealistic expectations of our country regarding gun control.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how completely saturated we are with guns. I grew up with guns, in a house practically stuffed to the brim with them. My family are paranoid "survivalists." &n ...

Am Tired Of Being Fat, Yes I Said It FatDec 11, 2014
I do not need any information about walking, exercising, know that but have some health issues that prevent a lot of that. Now let's get to the fat issue. I wish I could live off of water alone for about a month, that ought to about do it but I probably would have such a headache from lack of any solid food. I am also acknowleding the fact that a fast weight loss also means a possible fast gain back. I got all this but what I would like to know, does anyone have a really low caloric list ...

Tired Of Belly FatMar 02, 2010
I have done Weight Watchers, South Beach, Sonoma, and just generally starved myself into a rage, but this newfound belly fat is hanging on! I am talking cardio for 45 minutes a day and some weight training too! My newly-toned shoulders sure do enhance my bulging middle, which actually used to indent kinda nicely, I think. I'm gonna be 50 soon. I know my hormones are in a mosh pit, but something's gotta give, right? So here's what's next.....tell me if any ...

Observations - Tired Of It AllMar 25, 2010
The hatred on this board toward anyone who is a conservative has been absolutely rampant and so unnecessary.  It has become so bad here, the only way to describe it is a disease.  People have become totally obsessed with hating conservatives.  There are accusations of violence, yet no proof.  No videos, no voice clips, not even an iphone video or picture…nothing.  All you have is someone telling you things were said and done by conservatives, yet nobody can collab ...

For all of you who consider pubs evil and how we are inciting violence because we are all racist bigots who hate Obama and should never protest or hold up signs opposing Obama's position on things....well....how about a dose of your own medicine.

I'm So Tired Of The Tax Debate!May 14, 2010
Tax the rich more....tax the poor less, etc.  It is my opinion that if you tax the rich more, it won't help that much considering there are so many loopholes in the tax code that I'm sure the rich will find a way to get out of paying more taxes.  Why don't we just do a flat tax.  That will eliminate the loopholes.  Simple and easy...probably why they won't do it though.  They need something confusing so the crooks in the world can get out of paying ta ...

Do You Ever Have Days Where You Are So Tired You Feb 20, 2016
Get you out of bed?? I mean seriously, deep down severe fatigue?? I am having a day like that today.  I haven't felt like this in a long time.  It used to happen more frequently, a few times a year.  When my kids were younger I would lay in bed and think my kids would come home from school with me lying in bed and unable to get up.  But eventually I would be able to rouse from my fatigue and walk to the kitchen and get a cold beverage.  I think for me it is hormonal ...

Hair Dye What To Buy Tired Of ColorsilkDec 03, 2009
I have long hair that usually takes about 3 boxes of dye.  I usually only do it about 2-3 times a year and do the all over color each time because my color tends to fade.  I think hair dye might be one of those things that you get what you pay for.  I usually buy the Colorsilk ($2-$3 at Walmart) because it is cheaper and I am usually broke.  This year I think I will splurge a little and buy a more expensive brand.  In the past I have tried the Herbal ess. and Natrual Ins ...

You Know What I'm So Tired Of With This Election Year? Especially The DNC.Sep 05, 2012
It's like an echo. Every single person who speaks or gave a speech, and every government mayor, governor, government worker who speaks or gave a speech, are saying the exact same thing. Don't they have thoughts of their own? Can't they think for themselves? It certainly doesn't look that way. I'm surprised the women are being bamboozled so badly. It's shocking.  Oh, and I love the way Debbie Wasserman-Schultz got caught in another lie and then lied about it... ...

Extremely Tired All The Time Feb 03, 2014
I've always had an average amount of energy but lately I literally feel as if I am wading through water. I actually feel weighted down. I never used to be able to sleep anywhere but in bed, but I notice I have been nodding off in my chair even though I sleep well at night. I don't snore or have apnea. (It's been really cold here, and I find the nodding off occurs in my recliner when I have a blanket on me.)  My diet isn't that unhealthy, but it is pretty monotonous. I fi ...

Anyone Sick And Tired Of All The LiesMar 10, 2015

I am sick and tired of these excuses and lies that the Democrats give for everything and am sick of Mr. O saying he didn't know till he heard it on the news or it's someone else's fault. That is like my ex-husband blaming me for his wife's children renigging on a loan and him going bankrupt and other things like this he always accused me of. Nothing to do with me at all or our son. Anyway, I am more than ready for a ...
