Chronic shoulder pain: workaholics, beware the warning signs of Workaholic Syndrome
Anyone who sits in front of a computer for a long period of time or works hard for hours on end in the same position should read this!
Chronic shoulder pain may be a sign that you are developing Workaholic Syndrome, a common issue among people who love their jobs (a little too much!).

The warning signs of chronic shoulder pain from Workaholic Syndrome typically tend to be:
✤ Neck, shoulder and back pain ✤
People who work long hours in an office normally have to sit at a desk for hours, looking down at the computer screen, documents or their mobile phone. This can easily trigger pain in the neck, shoulders and back because your muscles are being overworked.
✤ Sharp pain in the shoulder. The more you raise your arm, the more it hurts. ✤
Sitting in the same position for a long time, whether hunched over a desk or with your head locked facing forwards can cause inflammation of the tendons and muscles in your shoulders. As a result, when you move or lift your arm, you feel a sharp pain. The symptoms typically become worse if you raise your arm high.
✤ Frozen shoulder, unable to fully lift the arm ✤
A frozen shoulder is another symptom of Workaholic Syndrome. It’s caused by inflammation of the tendon and the shoulder joints. This can even result in creating scar tissue. Eventually, the shoulder freezes, making it impossible to fully lift or rotate your arm.
✤ Frequent shoulder sprains ✤
Due to the prolonged periods of sitting in unnatural, repetitive postures, your joints and ligaments around your shoulder can deteriorate, making it easier to sprain or strain your shoulder even with the slightest movement.
✤ Weak shoulders, unable to lift heavy objects ✤
You may see a decrease in the strength of your muscles around your shoulders due to your muscles being in the wrong position for too much of the day. This can lead to accumulated damage. When you try to lift heavy objects, your shoulders feel weak and you struggle to support the weight.
If these symptoms persist without treatment, the pain often continues to spread, which will affect your efficiency at work, as well as your quality of life.
