My problems with shoulder and wrist pains all originate from stressful projects. When you sit entire days with your muscles tense, over and over again, that is when problems start to occur.

I can not connect my problems to bad ergonomics, because the way I was sitting in front of my computer all the way up until university years, those were far from ergonomic positions. But if you are relaxed and have fun, you automatically vary your posture and position.

Ergonomic chairs and keyboards are only one way to make you be able to endure your stressful work condition a bit longer when you sit there stressed trying to meet deadlines and whatever problems you fight with. The pains will show up, only later.

Myself, I often try to wake up from the work, feel my body and if I'm actually stressed. Take a deep breath, see if I can let my arms hang loose and relaxed. If I feel that I'm actually sweaty and have a high pulse, then I need to go for a walk. A good manager that I can bring this up with helps.

Also a bit of a fuck-off attitude also helps: My health is so much more valuable than the job and its compensation.
