Just realized my drafting desk setup has been causing my shoulder pain for 6 months

Found out last Tuesday at a shop in Portland that raising my monitor 4 inches and switching to a vertical mouse fixed the ache I had been blaming on bad posture at the board, anyone else dealt with a weird ergonomic issue that took forever to pin down?

Did you ever catch yourself wondering if your desk was secretly plotting against you? I spent a solid year thinking my wrist pain was from drawing too much, turns out my keyboard tray was tilted like 3 degrees off level (just enough to not notice, but totally enough to wreck me). Finally bought a $15 level from the hardware store and fixed it in 30 seconds, felt like a complete idiot but hey, at least I can hold a pencil again without wincing.
