거북목이라 뻐근한게 아닐까요? 무조건 목디스크일 것 같진 않아요~
My head feels stiff and tense after looking at the computer all day. Could this be an early symptom of a herniated disc?
Lately, I've been sitting in front of the computer all day for work, so I've been feeling a stiff neck and a pulling sensation at the back of my head around the time I get off work. I thought it was just fatigue, but the stiffness lingers even after I wake up, and I often feel a heavy, stiff feeling in my shoulders. I say I'm careful about my posture, but I have a habit of constantly looking at the monitor and craning my neck, and the pain seems to be getting worse. I'm worried whether this symptom is simply muscle tension or a sign of a posture-related condition like a cervical disc herniation or turtle neck forward head posture. I'm also curious if, in addition to stretching and posture correction, I should get a checkup at a hospital.
