There are several small things that can help you against your pain. Try to stretch your back and perhaps do some back exercise a couple of times every hour. When the ECM, extracellular matrix, gets dehydrated which it will be when spending a long time in front of your monitor it won't protect as well. Ask for a new and better chair at the office. There are several out there which are made for people with back problems. Lay off the computer at home or at least try and lessen the time you spend at it. And finally, don't be ashamed about seeing your physician about this. If the first can't help you in what you feel is a satisfactory way, seek out another one. If you haven't already tried it, go see an orthopaedist. [img]smile.gif[/img]
