Back/Neck Issues from Camming
Do any of my fellow camgirls have neck and/or back issues from camming?? Thankfully my man is an expert at giving me neck/back adjustments, but oh my god, it leaves me with such pressure sometimes! And we don't live together, so I don't get cracked every day.
I cam on my bed and try to use pillows for support, but damn! Maybe its the cold weather or my age....:-\

Re: Back/Neck Issues from Camming
I had back problems before I started camming and still do. For me, I have not found a way to look good and be comfortable in bed with pillows. I feel better sitting straight up with no support behind my back. Or sometimes I will sit in my office chair. As soon as I get a private, I turn the cam around and stand up for awhile. I will do a little dance/strip, then swing back to the bed. I can't take sitting in one place for too long either.

Re: Back/Neck Issues from Camming
OOh, Back Problems. a subject that is always on my mind. I have lots of threads and posts on here about it.
I have severe pain from degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, and arthritis in my spine. My neck always feels like someone is holding it in a tight grip, and squeezing. Sooo Painful.
I have tried camming from a bed, but, it causes instant pain and tightness for me. (I even have an adjustable bed and tons of pillows, and my back still hurts camming on it.) Most of my privates involve me to be in doggy style, so that just adds to the discomfort. especially if I have to glance back at what he's typing. OUCH!!
I take glucosamine and that seems to help, especially in the winter. Plus injections when I need it.
I cam from a well padded desk chair, with a heating pad on my lower back.:irked:
I get tired really fast, because of my back pain, so camming and all the positions that come with it, make camming for long periods of time difficult.
I think if you search on here, there are lots of helpful threads.
Best of luck! if You come up with any tips to alleviate the pain while camming, please share.

Yes, doggystyle's the worst! I have a great tip for that. Set up a second monitor on the other side.

Re: Back/Neck Issues from Camming
I usually cam from the floor and move around on a couch, or I cam from a bed.....the only thing that helps is stretching a lot and regularly doing yoga. If I had an office set-up like I used to when working in a studio, I think it would be easier...it was for me then, even working some ridiculous amount of close to 40 hours there!

Re: Back/Neck Issues from Camming
I never have problems. I cam standing up. My computer & camera is set up on my dresser & I stand up between it & the bed. This way I can quickly get on the bed for doggie or laying down for privates.
Standing is healthier for you. Laying down on the bed for camming made me tired & ache, did not conserve energy at all for me.
Good Luck,

Re: Back/Neck Issues from Camming
Yes I have neck and back ache from camming...thankfully on Adultwork I can do paid only chat but I do better if I offer free preview. I cam in my living room and I'm turned slightly sideways...it helps to use 2 laptops so I have one directly in front of me but I still end up leaning forwards on my elbows and that creates tension. I don't get asked to use a vibrator in doggy position thankfully, I don't think I could do it!

Re: Back/Neck Issues from Camming
I have lower back pain myself & neck pain & is terrible sometimes, a while ago, for a few days i could not get out the bed to go to toilet on my own, luckily my son helped me to the bathroom door there. I am scared to death to get to that status again. I cam in bed sitting on my right body side having the desk with pc/ monitor on the right side of my bed; when i get shows i move camera instead, put camera on the other end of the bed so i do the show being able to turn my head to the right and read the screen. I have my webcam sitting on a small pod then on a stand on my desk so i can move it easily.
Standing is painful for me, sitting in the chair too, sitting on my ass on sofa too so the best option is laying in bed on one side with pillows to support my back and even soo after a few hrs i get the pain therefore i cant work more than 3-4 hrs at a time, last nite i was online for 6 hrs and hell, do i feel the pain today, ouch!

Re: Back/Neck Issues from Camming
I did that's why I alternate with sitting down and standing up now. I use to cam from my bed and had pillows under me and behind me as well but my back always ended up hurting. I don't even cam from a bed anymore I cam from a couch/sitting area that I made. Switching between sitting and standing has been alot better on my body and I feel like its made me more energetic.

Re: Back/Neck Issues from Camming
I had terrible backpains too from camming (bc of that coudnt work for months),
I noticed I sat a lot of times with my legs both at each side of my small cambed/long chair.
Now that I sit on my knees and change this by laying on one side sometimes (resting on my arm and one side of my body) helps my back a lot.
While in pain an osteopath and swimming/visiting a sauna kinda helped a bit- also bikram yoga
I do have pain in my knees now :D, but everything better than that backpain (I cannot stand and walk around, my woom is to little to do that.. can not wait to get another appartment and being able to use both a chair and bed)

I have major hip pain since this past fall and of course usual upper/lower back pain and neck from sitting. I cam from a chair and that does not help due to the pressure. I must find something different.

Re: Back/Neck Issues from Camming
It's a type repetitive strain and then being on the pressure points. Right now I am going through hell because they doctor has no idea why I get nerve pain in my left arm, Yes they did find something on MRI and I have to go through a spinal tap next month. but they still aren't sure why even though I've hinted or told them what I do for a living that could be the cause of the uncomfortable pain.
Sometimes hot baths, getting RMT massage helps but there is very little relief.

Re: Back/Neck Issues from Camming
I do too, particularly on my left side/shoulders because that's the side I'm dependent on when. I thave been going to the gym more regularly for strength training and stretching. That seems to help. And I treat myself to a 90 minute massage each month.

Re: Back/Neck Issues from Camming
I have terrible neck pain... knee pain from dancing.
UGH. I wonder if using homedics products might help? or one of those warmer neck buddies I used to see old people using? I used to watch one cam guy who cammed from a LAZ-boy chair and tv tray in front of it.. It looked super comfortable.

Re: Back/Neck Issues from Camming
Mother's Day weekend I was in so much pain (my neck), in addition to the migraines I've been having lately. I don't think it's camming-related though, in my case.
