Nellers 12 Jan 9:37am, 12 Jan 2024 41,959 posts	0 Nellers Thread resurrection time. OK so not actually running but I've had a sore shoulder and right side of my neck for a while now. I was worried that it was going to stop me swimming and rowing but I've actually been fine with that and that's definitely not how I hurt myself. I do a desk job and I've been faffing about my seating position and where my mouse and keyboard are and all that. Nothing has helped. Today the penny dropped. Son No 1 got a dartboard for Xmas. It's up in the dining room where I have my WFH desk. We have a few rounds most lunchtimes, and occasionally when I'm on a break. I've got a darts injury!

Runningbauble21 12 Jan 9:53am, 12 Jan 2024 99 posts	0 Runningbauble21 Nellers that is so much better than the injury I acquired a while back, at least yours is sport related! I once acquired a shoulder injury by switching from an automatic to a manual car lol
Nellers 12 Jan 9:56am, 12 Jan 2024 41,962 posts	0 Nellers That's amazing RB21! Well done. (Actually I've got an Achilles issue, left side, and I'm hugely relieved that I still drive an auto! I don't know how I'd have got around if I'd needed clutch control at times.)
