I played maybe 3 hours of Halo last night. Midway through playing, I lowered the seat because I got a bit uncomfortable. I think that’s why it hurts, because I had to look up at a screen more.

I went to sleep hoping I’d feel all better the next day, but no, the pain is still there when I have my neck in certain positions. I can straigthen my neck with a bit of pain, but I can’t seem to arch it back more then that.

Anybody go through this before?
Good to know I’m no alone. And for your information I was playing Halo, the original. I don’t usually play video games (because I’d probably get addicted), but I saw it for 20 bucks and I do have a new graphics card I wanted to test out.

It’s a common enough problem with people who work at desk jobs- Or who play video games a lot.

For now, you’ll want to take aspirin and do gentle stretches with your neck, and keep a rolled-up warm towel around it to help your neck muscles relax.

This will be hard for you- but afterwards, you’ll have to make sure not to play so long. And to have the monitor at a height that is right for you, when you do play.

Good luck!
