Some of it is not the desk
If the pain has been there for weeks, or it wakes you up, or it goes down an arm or a leg, a better chair will not fix it on its own. That is worth an appointment.
This check is based on the Rapid Office Strain Assessment (Sonne, Villalta and Andrews, 2012), an ergonomics screening tool for computer workstations. It is a guide to how your desk is set up, not a diagnosis, and it cannot tell you what is causing your pain. If something hurts, get it looked at.
