I recommend that you see your doctor. It is possible as a side effect of abstaining from nicotine. I have had this coincide with vaping/giving up cigarettes, but I cannot attribute it to any specific thing. However, being immobile at the computer is certainly not helpful. Support bandages and planned exercise may be beneficial.
