I’ve been working as an SLP for 7 years without any difficulty with workplace ergonomics. Or so I thought!   About 5-6 months ago I started having significant neck pain. At first, I chalked it up to sleeping on my neck wrong. But the pain was persisting and I started to feel it radiating down into my right elbow and hand. Two weeks went by and ibuprofen was just barley bringing down the pain. So it was off to my doctor! After a thorough evaluation my doctor prescribed three things to me. Hydrocodone, a muscle relaxer, and physical therapy. I was incredibly fortunate to work with some amazing physical therapists at the hospital I work at so I knew the right people to go to. During the assessment with my physical therapist, I almost cried just talking about the pain. Not because the pain was excruciating but because of how lon...
