1) Not sitting with good posture
2) You've been sitting in your chair to long
3) Your chair doesn't have proper support
4) Your chair isn't adjusted properly
5) Your leaning forward to see the computer monitor
Proper hand position
Sometimes your wrist will hurt when you start typing. This is because you don't have the proper hand position. Some of these habits cause the problem:
1) You're typing to long without a break
2) You're gripping your pencil or pointing your device to tightly
3) There's pressure on your wrists or palms
4) You're extensively clicking your mouse
5) You're typing extensively at a 10-key pad or calculator
Neck position
While on your computer, your neck might start aching. Sometimes you lean to see the screen or your back is arched incorrectly. Some causes of your problem are:
1) Your monitor isn't at the right height
2) Your chair is too far from the monitor
3)Your leaning forward to see the screen
