    Hi Peggy: Very definitely. The only way I can deal with this is to
    set a timer and try very hard to not stay at the bench more than 30
    minutes at a time and then I need to get up and walk around for at
    least 5 minutes. I gently bend my head from side to side and then
    roll it from to back and back to front. It still bothers me but for
    sure I'd be in a big snit if I didn't stop and get up and move a
    bit. And when it gets really bad, I go for the ibuprofen. Sometimes
    just standing up and stretching a bit will also help.  And drinking
    lots and lots of water I think helps under any conditions. Good luck.
    I think there are just some things that come with "maturity" as you
    put it and we have to adjust a bit but we definitely need to keep
    working.
