There are illnesses and symptoms that are likely to occur due to occupation, such as tenosynovitis if you sit on a PC and type all the time, but are there any illnesses or symptoms that are likely to occur when you are a monk?
Because of work, I overuse my throat, so I have oral diseases such as pharyngitis and rhinitis.
Also, since my job involves standing up and sitting, I have knee arthritis and nerve pain in my ankles, thighs, and buttocks.
Furthermore, being prone to obesity is also an occupational disease.
If I had to say a boy's occupational disease, it would be “hemorrhoids.” That's because the kanji is already “temple to the sick.”
I think it was because I was sitting on a cold floor in the middle of winter.
However, this is a long time ago. Currently, the air conditioning is working, and it's tatami mat instead of the floor, so I don't think that's the case.
Every time I hear stories about friends from my school days and acquaintances of the same generation getting sick in various ways, I feel that it is relatively difficult for monks to get sick. Maybe it's because it's less stressful and you can do it at your own pace.
It's more of a habit than an occupational disease, but...
They are wearing monk clothes, and when they try to give someone a drink, they hold them down.
When I'm wearing clothes, I try to drink and hold back when I'm not there (^_^;)
Also, at funerals of famous people and funeral scenes in dramas, I see Shiraki's place plate.
Everyone nodded when they had answers (laughs)
There's nothing particularly bothering me... What I just end up looking at is the funeral home's funeral announcement sign (which region is it from?), the Buddhist altars shown on TV, etc., and the majesty and what sect.
In my case, it's private, and it's a place where I act “like” a monk.
There are times when they behave like a boy.
Not being able to throw it away is an occupational disease for me.
For example, even if you eat out, the dishes and plates will be shiny to the extent that your wife lightly pulls them with pickles, lemon scraps, etc. after the meal.
This is a habit of Zen temple life, so if you don't do it, you won't be able to calm down.
Second, they disguise themselves when they go outside.
When I go shopping at a supermarket or convenience store, I disguise myself as regular clothes. It's not someone I respect.
When going out with the family, ama-chan is still a place where they disguise themselves by making excuses in their hearts, saying that children would be treated specially if it was a boy costume, or because people would stare. I don't just “look like a monk” when it's official, and “being able to become a monk” as a matter of course is something that has no two sides, and I think it's real.
The mucous membranes of the throat and nose are often damaged by incense smoke, incense smoke, etc.
A lot of people come to the temple to pray for Ohigan, Obon, etc.
Incense sticks are lit and handed over.
Inhaling smoke often damages the mucous membranes of the nose and throat.
It's somewhat fine to wear a mask, but I haven't done it because it doesn't look good.
Since I'm sitting upright at that time, it puts a strain on my ankles and knees.
I'm just sitting, but when I notice it for a long time, my muscles ache.
Also, recently there has been an increase in the number of responses here, and it seems like it will be mouse tenosynovitis.
(The management of the parishioners also uses a PC, so...)
There are many middle-aged and older monks around me who are instructed about dietary restrictions due to diabetes, etc.
I think it's probably because I eat well meals such as memorial services, etc., but on many days, I go to 2 to 3 memorial services and sit around all of them, and my obese constitution is ready in a blink of an eye.
When I try to leave it behind, they say, “Today was strong, so wouldn't it be a waste to leave it behind?”
This is quite troublesome before they say, “Let's cherish life that has become food.”
They say “what to do if the boy can't drink,” and they drink a lot of beer and alcohol, and the better the person you hang out with, the more dangerous it is.
I'm still healthy, but from the bottom of my heart, I hope “I want memorial services etc. to be more simple.” Actually, it's called “osai,” but it's too extravagant, so I say gozen.
There are others
According to the chiropractic teacher, he said, “There is a monk in the top 3 customers who come for treatment,” and it seems that there are many people who have bad knees, probably sitting too much.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is a humble answer to the question.
I enjoyed watching everyone's answers because the monk looked like “there is” (laughs)
As Mr. Urakami and Mr. Nakata also said, there is “a look at Shiraki's place plates at funerals of famous people and funeral scenes in dramas.” I listen intently to what sect it is and what sutras they are reading.
If you pass in front of the temple, you'll also see what is written on the bulletin board. I also do calligraphy, so I can't help but look at how good or bad the letters are. My humble life is of course not good enough to be evaluated, and he's still an immature person...
Speaking of remnants of the training period like Mr. Tange, for example, if everything is not centered, there is a sense of incongruity, and I just want to fix it. Incense sticks, standing positions of pagodas, locations of offerings, etc.
Of course, sitting upright, and loop work are pretty hard, so I have joint pain, muscle pain, stiff shoulders, and back pain all the time... the types of salonpas, compresses, nutritional supplements, and nutritional drinks are quite suppressed and detailed.
As Mr. Mitsumi also pointed out, you have to be careful enough about your “throat.” Throat candy is a must-have item. If you overuse your throat, you may even put Salonpas compresses on your throat.
The “feast” of eating without leaving anything behind is also truly nostalgic.
If you search for it, it seems like there's still more to come out.

To Kyosuke
After all, it seems that many people hurt their knees.
It's not a disease
Since it has become a habit to put hands together
When I meet someone in my daily life
There are times when we put our hands together right away. Gassho
