QuoteOriginally posted by: brontosaurusAnyone here had any physical injuries related to their posture at their work desk?I was surfing Wilmott late one night, quite recently.When I opened my eyes the following morning, all I could see was the ceiling of the study.My dearly beloved had heard a large thump at about 4am. This, apparently, was yours truly falling off the chair.Although uninjured by the fall, I had severe bruising in the groin the following morning that would appear to be consistent with a 20 m sec ^-1 impact with a female foot.
