Took me 2 years to realize my monitor was way too high

I always had neck pain after long work sessions and thought it was just bad posture. Then I lowered my monitor by about 4 inches and the pain went away in like 3 days. Anyone else get this wrong at first?

Then I lowered my monitor by about 4 inches and the pain went away in like 3 days" - wait, that quick? I moved mine down a bunch too but it took me almost two weeks before I noticed my headaches stopped. Was it really that instant for you? Like the first day you lowered it did you sit down and feel your neck relax or did it take a little while to kick in? I'm trying to figure out if I should adjust mine even more because I still get a little sore after like 6 hours. Not as bad as before but not perfect either.

Well @riley595, I don't think it's supposed to be instant like that for most people. Your body takes time to unlearn bad habits, so two weeks sounds pretty normal to me. If you're still sore after 6 hours, maybe try small adjustments over a few days rather than one big change.
