Hi All,

    Does anyone share my problem of sore neck and stiff shoulders after
    many hours at the bench?  I've lowered my chair so that I'm bending
    over less than if it were higher, but the focal length of my
    Optivisor is only 4" and I cannot work without them so some bending
    over is necessary.  I can't afford a weekly massage and am already
    on all of the arthritis drugs known to man.  What do you mature
    jewelers do to address this problem?  Thanks.
