What Can Cause Severe Pain In The Joints Of Neck And Arm?
Hi Doctor, I am 22. And I have been working for almost 15 months now. I have a sedentary lifestyle. My job makes me sit for 9-10 long hours every day. Is it possible that I have spondylitis? I have severe pain in the join of my neck and arm almost every day and sometimes in the back too.

Hi,
Due to continuously maintaining the same position of neck and back you have a "repeated strain injury". You need to take a break after every 45 min can be a walk in office or stretching on your chair, neck movements, shoulder shrugs, arm movements. This will enhance blood flow in your joints and prevent early degradation of bone. There is low possibility of having spondilitis. Make sure you have ergonomically designed chair and desk.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Jenis Bhalavat
