Introducing myself...and my Bike :)

I had this problem also and then lowered my mouse and keyboard surface ( my desk surface) to the correct height for my size. Most desks are too high for small women. The surface of my desk is 26" high, the standard is 30". Problem solved, no more neck or shoulder pain once I changed this.

Great link! I actually had to raise my keyboard and mouse. I have a great articulating keyboard and mouse tray combo (mouse tray articulates separate from keyboard) but I had them in the wrong position for my sitting posture. Fixed them and have had a lot less shoulder issues.

Welcome! Nice bike. I like the color and the lines.

Thank you

No problem, as a fellow sufferer and long time computer user, I know how bad ergonomics can make posture issues worse and give you more chance of repetitive stress injuries. Your folks in charge would be wise to give you a more ergonomic situation, as better ergonomics result in higher productivity and lower workers comp claims. Getting off my soapbox now

If it's around the rotator cuff, you might try strengthening that area with Jobes exercises. You can search YouTube for some good videos. This one looked pretty good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjA0YNAQI7U


Good luck!

Thanks for the link..I wil start doing the exercise.

Some upgrades my babygirl's getting done...just got the items this morning and she is going straight to the LBS today if I make it on time... or tomorrow.
I am just trying to make my ride more comfortable and safer by getting better response while trying to stop.

She is getting new Brake Aero Levers and New Front dual Pivot Tektro Brake Caliper


And these are the dual sided clipless pedals she is wearing already .

Got her back from the LBS today...Wow...She look so sexy... I am in love with her... lol...New brake Levers and front dual pivot brake caliper installed.

I have other upgrades in mind for her. May get aluminum rims or 700c if possible??
