Could computer ergonomics be to blame for my shoulder pain?


Recently my shoulder has been bothering me if I raise my arm above parallel with the ground. The only other time it hurts is when I'm at work, in front of the computer, using the mouse. Is this an ergonomics problem? If so, is my employer obligated to pay for treatment?

If it is a ergonomic problem which it sounds like it might be your employer would have to pay for medical treatment.

This would be a workers compensation claim and employers often try fighting these kinds of claims however you have rights as an employee. Look on your state's workers compensation website and you can find out what your legal rights are. I know CA workers compensation but I have no idea what state you are living in. Good Luck.
