I called my PT the other day because since I have started my job I have been having tremendous shoulder/neck pain. (Yes, I know I'm a pain in the neck!!) He suggested I try to use a harness the seamstresses use to help alleviate my shoulder pushing forward while I am working. Apparantly I have to order one online and he's going to give me the website soon.

I was just curious if anyone has ever tried one and is it even worth going through to purchase one.

Thanks.
a.k.a. The pain in the neck gal.

Rachel, I will email you a picture later of something that sounds similar and can be made.
My OT made it for me last year and it helped to change my posture quite a bit while bringing my shoulder back.

Thanks Amy,
It's so weird though, I worked yesterday and wasn't hardly in pain at all but by the end of the night with all my running around for the kids etc. (Driving alot) I started to flare up a bit. My new e mail is marko@centurytel.net
How is school going for you?

School gets crazy busy with homework. But I am having fun this year, I have a good group of friends and we hang out a lot. We have dinner together at least once a week but usually more. So its fun.
Classes are not too hard, my test well be this week, I have a medical terminology test today and a Anatomy/Physiology test tomarrow.

Better news My baby neice or nephew is supposed to be born today! They induced the mom (my sisters adopting) at 6:00am today! So I should have an awesome baby to play with when I go home tomarrow!

Thanks for asking!
Hugs,
Amy

by the way I will try to send those pics later today if I can.

I never heard of a seamstress harness...
I wonder if it would help me with some of the stress I feel in my shoulder after spending time on the computer.

Good luck with your tests Amy...
Can't wait to hear what the new baby is!!!
Sooo will you be Aunt Amy or Auntie Amy?

Kath,
'Twas thinking about this...I bet the Harness thingy WOULD help you. I hope you try it.

Amy,
Good luck on your tests and please take a picture of your new neice /nephew for us & post it on your site or email us. You are going to have sooo much fun. You are going to be a great Auntie!
HUGS to everyone,
Carolyn J

I'm still waiting for the website from my PT as soon as I do maybe we can take a look at it and figure out if it will be worth it or not.

emailing the pics tonight, sorry it has taken me so long.
