L.J., romantic toiler on Nostr: So I wake up from an evening of bed rest and a full night's sleep with a mild cramp ...
So I wake up from an evening of bed rest and a full night's sleep with a mild cramp in my side — my RIGHT side???!!! Wtf is going on
I've been feeling it for a couple days now but it definitely seems like there's some problem/too much tension in my posture and it showed up first in my left side, and as I favor that side because of the pain the right side took up the slack and is now feeling the strain.
I think I'll start with something I've been thinking for a while, lowering my main monitor. It's been feeling a little high compared to my otherwise relaxed posture (keyboard halves hovering just over lap, upper arms straight down and elbows at about 90° angle) and I suspect the need to raise my eyes higher than where they want to go is straining my neck and torso.
