&quot;TL: One major reason why people experience pain while at work is that they seek stress and pain in their work; this is often called &quot;work ethic&quot; or &quot;hard work&quot;. If work ethic is very important to you and you manage to make your workstation more comfortable, you should look for other sources of stress and pain to compensate to compensate for the new-found comfort. (An easy one is just to work longer.) Similarly, you probably already work very comfortably if you value relaxation and health; if that is the case my above recommendations will probably have only small impacts. ~*&quot;
