I am a desktop user and I have a huge problem of neck pain. Sometimes I find it very difficult to sit even for an hour. I was looking for something which could help me solve my problem regarding the neck pain and I stopped at you.  You have provided really a very valuable information about this. Thanks for sharing.

In the last 5 weeks I encountered very painful sensations in my neck (C5/6/7) and left shoulder and left arm.  I started when grasping the low position on the race-bike-handlebars. Then it stayed non-stop painful, even walking > 100 yards made the pain-sensation in the arm almost unbearable.

...But after 1 day of McKenzie exercise (turning head to the left and pushing it a little through the barrier) 80% of the pain was gone! Slept much better (before exercise I slept 2 hrs. and then awaked by the pain) and could tilt my head again a little to see further ahead...  Now, 3 wks later, after new McKenzie exercise with the chin tucked and then bending head backwards (roll-back) and nerve-flossing, only left with some 5/10% of pain. Handlebars now 1 inch higher and cycling is possible again. Find this site very, very informative and giving good directives to patients.
