Yeah, I was doing the same.

I changed the lighting in office to blue light, and upped the wattage (see better), switched out all monitors for flat screens (better res), along with new keyboards, mouses, but the towel and chair were the biggest for me.

When my shoulder or arm hurt. I am either playing Madden or some video game without a break, or my chair is sitting lower than the highest position and effecting my elbow and shoulder.

It is ALWAYS the left one.
