Which hurts the least?

My neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, and fingers hurt! Which is only normal as I type 9, 10, 100 hours a day on my computer at the office.

Should I request my employer to buy me an ergonomic (and very expensive because it's ergonomic) chair to relieve some of the pain? Absolutely!

Will my coworkers feel jealous when my chair comes? Absolutely!

This is really weird - I have asked quite a few of my coworkers if they suffered any body pains as they were always typing like neanderthals, and they all said no. I don't understand how that's possible, but maybe I'm just physically and mentally wired differently from others!

My fear is that my coworkers, when they see my beautiful new chair, will not know - or really care - why I get that chair. All they see is that I complain about some stupid pains and I get a new and really expensive chair! And my head begins to hurt thinking about the consequences of being an object of jealousy at the office...

After much painful thinking, I've finally decided I just have to get a new and expensive chair if I want to continue be a two-armed person, with my arms working. But I'm paying for it myself.

Among my bank account, my arms, and my head, my bank account will hurt the least.
