I've been experiencing shoulder, neck, and arm pain for the past two years or so, but I always attributed it to the car accident I had back in April 2002. The pain had been getting worse and more chronic, and I felt I needed to seek out some form of treatment. I looked into acupuncture, and boy has it done wonders for me! I'm no longer in constant pain, although my shoulder will ache when I see too many patients at work.
I realized that the pain was coming from my work, specifically the posture that I was adapting when doing refractions (which is clearer, one or two?). Besides acupuncture treatments, standing up while doing refractions has also helped a lot.
Who knew of the dangers of being an optometrist?!
