Damn...my back hurts!  Has or is anyone who architects/builds/develops software for a living experiencing back pain? Yesterday and today especially I noticed my back kinda hurts! I have a very comfy office desk and chair with everything state of the art but I think my chair at home is crappy, it is a regular chair with which I support my back with a pillow but it is not working! I spend hours at times doing my thing and I have decided tomorrow, I am going hunting for the most comfy, ergonomic chair I can find on the market! In fact, a new computer desk, any ideas? Is anyone experiencing something similar? |

Nope. Never experienced such. After spending some hours on the table, I always switch to using my bed (with a pillow as back rest), then to using only chair with my laptop on my laps. The cycle goes on. 2 Likes |

Can you upload a picture of your current office desk and chair? It may be that they are just expensive for nothing. I think a good chair should provide firm support for your lower back when you sit on it. Each one of the executive chairs we bought for every programmer in my business has a special adjustable pad in the lower back area as well as an S-shape that mimics the natural shape of your spine. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

It may be that they are just expensive for nothing.Been nursing back problems too, but that has to be from driving in Lagos traffic everyday.

Man was never made to sit all day long in front of a computer or what ever. BTW it happened to me too. In fact still happens, Changed chairs a lot to no avail. I could remember one terrible sunday, i have sat on a seat in front of my system 3 days, only having 3-4hrs sleep each day trying to get the project done. On the fourth day (sunday) i woke up but could not move the pain on my spine was better imagined. I litteraly crawled and found the moral strength to crawl into my car and it was a miracle i was able to drive to where i could get medication. MAN WAS NOT MADE TO SIT FOR HOURS IN FRONT OF A PC!!!!! BE WARNED!!! |

Why should you sit for hours at end because of your job? Abi na software to detect the identity of terrorists you dey work on? *just kidding* Whatever you do, try to take breaks by walking around after about an hour. This is important so as to exercise both ur hands, legs, waist and even ur eyes. I know what i'm saying cos sometimes when i sit down working on web projects, i experience the same but taking breaks and pauses eliminates those joint cramps. |

the edge of your bed can prove to be more ergonomic than you think. av been doing it for years now. I get tired of sitting up for long. |

Change your sitting posture... I used to spend long ungodly hours at the work station either with my computer or sheets of wireline logs... I stopped encountering back pain when I changed my sitting posture... |
