I know people who go to focus groups, try to answer as dishonestly as they can, and manipulate the discussions to get everyone else to agree with them. They take the $50, eat the food, and leave. The marketing types who run the focus groups somehow are so gullible they accept everything at face value, or they don't care, or they are trained to accept bullshit. Perhaps the last option sounds like the most likely... since that's what they're trying to do to the rest of the population, feed us crap and they expect us to eat it up.
Could you do some neurohacking, so that with feedback training, you could light up the section of your brain that means LIKE when you're feeling DISLIKE and vice versa?
Or maybe you could reverse your digestive system, eat through your butthole, and crap out your mouth. Oh, yah, that describes someone who works in marketing/advertising...
Yes, you would need surgery if you don't make a change in your habits now.
The mouse should be at the same level as the keyboard and close to your body, not raised and to the right. Check out some basic ergonomics info, and you may wish to see a rehab specialist or RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) specialist.
My understanding/experience is that your muscles have forgotten to relax... you're so used to holding your arm in a certain position that even when your muscles could relax, they don't. This causes physical changes in the structure of the muscle leading to progressively less flexibility, and progressively more pain until you are effectively disabled. You need to massage, to bring in oxygen, gentle stretching and flexibility exercises. You could get a large rubber band used for rehab exercises... stick one end under your foot, hold the other in your right hand. Raise the right hand as if you're holding a pitcher and pouring to the left. Raise to just above shoulder level. If there is pain before you get your arm this high, stop, back off a little. Hold 5 secs. This is ON. Drop arm to side and relax. This is OFF. You're retraining your arm to relax. Seek medical advice for additional recommendations.
