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.

Click on the play button below for a video discussion about the curl-up exercise and demonstration of how to perform it.  This exercise is one of McGill's "Big Three" exercises and has good evidence to support its use for low back pain and building endurance in the abdominal muslces.
