I don't think reclining is that great for your shoulders / neck since it encourages your shoulders to slump forward and you will be likely to hold your head forward in order to see your monitor properly.

I tried the recliner-desk for a while myself. After a couple months the behavior you described started to take its toll as well. I traded one pain for another.

it does the opposite for my shoulders, they are relaxed.

i keep a pillow around that i sometimes place behind my head to zero-out any neck strain
