My thumb sits behind the neck, not over like some people. However, I notice I have a tendency to push the thumb into the neck, so eventually my thumb looks like a shade of pink and then it gets uncomfortable. Is this "thumb pressure" normal and I will get use to it or should there be little pressure coming from my thumb unless needed?
