Is your back fucked up from sitting hunched over all day
 

Seems like I keep getting worse. I bought the best chair you can buy and it still doesnt really help..

Maybe I need to hire someone to message me.

fucking sucks.. with my recent injury I have just been using a laptop and sitting on a leather couch.. i keep shoving various pillows behind me to help my back

I went to the doctor for my back last week, he was shocked. He said I was pretty young to have back problems. I need to do some sports again :2 cents:

more like my eyes are going from staring at the monitors.

Exercise is one of the very best things that you can do. Get off your ass a few times a day and stretch.

yes I do ,been on here for too long of a strech at a time :2 cents:

after i broke my collar bone, i had to learn to sit with good posture. tighten up your lower back and set up straight. sucks at first but itll change your life. now i feel fine after 12 hours straight at the desk.

My sitting posture sucks too.. I get back pains from time to time.

damn double post

Oh God, mine kills. I have serious back problems anyway (was diagnosed with arthritis in my back when I was 20), but my old chair doesn't help me either. Couldn't even walk straight last week, was in so much pain.

In fact, I just bought a new leather chair this afternoon that I'd love to be using right now, but I can't get the fucking wheels on. It's pissing me off. I want to sit in my new chair dammit. lol

I did but noticed if I get up and walk around and stretch every hour or so It doesn't bother me as much

Hey Roger.

I sned you ICQs and a few emails over the past week.
No response.

Please see if you got it.

yep, my back is beyond fucked and I've had a good chair for years.

i see a chiropractors everymonth but im pretty active aside from the work

I've been using one of these damn fitness balls as a chair. It's helping a lot. Plus, over time it works your abs as you do your work.

Make sure your monitor is ergonomically positioned correctly to your body.

Set your phones on a table nearby, not on your desk, so you have to get up to answer them.

Get a dog so you get to go for walks 4 times a day.

:thumbsup

FYI I just got your email. I only got one though. Please email me all your info for shipment.

I'm going out of town tomorrow so I will get it out ASAP

Ill email you back tonight.

Yup, I get back pains all day long :(

A massage will perfectly help dude..

Hello Roger,

Sorry to hear your back hurts.

Yes our backs are not designed for us to be sitting at a desk for many hours on end. We should all take breaks every 30 minutes to get up and streach and walk around. A good chair is very important. Proper placement of ones monitor is too. I would guess that most of us have some problem with our necks or backs from working online. It would be a great service is AVN held a seminar on how to stay healthy while working in this industry.

Take breaks so you don't break!

Stay healthy Roger!

No, but it's a bit fucked up from moving nearly two and a half tons of snow over the past week. :D

Here's to good pain killers!

I don't even notice the clock every 30 minutes. I get up like about every two hours or so. I have a dog, but she pees in the backyard and then comes back inside, so four walks a day really don't happen.

sigh.

Nope, not me. I am fortunate that I go to this excerise class at least 3x/week Egoscue and I am a BIG believe in massage. Deep tissue. No fu fu stuff.

"more like my eyes are going from staring at the monitors."

I've been assured by my eye doctor that staring at monitors in NO WAY effects eye sight :thumbsup

maybe you can use cushions when you rest your back on the chair.

Yeah my back is getting screwed .Along with my right wrist.
From holding the mouse, not from doing what you think .. *sigh*
My new years resolution is getting a bit more excercise.

same fucking problems here.

Massage will definately help. Deep tissue is good stuff.

yes, my lower spine is getting fucked up. i had some x-rays to see for myself. the rest of my spine is nice and fresh :)

i have no idea what to do about the bad part :/

thx for the link.. i'll buy one

I have a totally fucked up back. Thankfully, I have a friend who's a Chiropractor.

If you've never been, do yourself a favor and see one.

work on your abs

and get up from sitting every hour and walk around

also a good chair will help

I go to the gym and do mad pullups and rows straightens it out for me

yeah im a lazy slob....i get back pains at night when sleeping...i will have to force myself to get healthy again

I'm doing ok so far. Thanks god

I have an MRI on Thursday to find out what's wrong with mine.

get layed a little more, 2 or 3 times per day really helps !

taking breaks is the key message aeron chair or beercrate

I've had upper back problems for a while now, I have relieved the pain however with a Cushtie, it molds to your back and supports it very well. I would highly recommend! :thumbsup

Regardless of the chair, I constantly slouch. Isn't hurting, though. *knock on wood*

My posture is awful. I have to keep reminding myself to sit up straight.

We should go into sports...I guess.

I had back pains daily until I started working out again.. then, since day 3, not 1 back pain.

ya know, its funny this thread just came up today...
i woke up today, yet again, with lower back pain. im 25 yrs old for christs sake!! i shouldnt be having back pain.

right now, i have an over-sized leather computer chair, that i sit indian-style in 90% of the time (and lean forward to work)..i can pretty much blame the lower-back pain on myself.

time to start sitting up straight and get a new chair that isnt so comfy.

Totally agree with you. We bought a free weights set for the house and after starting to lift again, the back pain went away. Went to the doc for a physical and I complained about my back pain (mentioning that it felt better since exercising). He told me to take all these pills and lidocaine patches and not work out for two weeks. The meds ran out and the pain returned, hence the MRI. At least he said I can work out again.

I use one of these pretty much daily.

It helps stretch out my spine.

If you keep your knees elevated slightly above your hips it will remove most of the pressure that is placed on your lower back when sitting for extended periods.

:2 cents:

My back was fucked up from breaking it years ago. Sitting hunched over for years certainly didn't help the continuous pain...

When I started going to the gym, within four months, I was experiencing no pain. It's been a mighty relief.

Dont bother me at all

ok so I need to work out, stretch,walk my dog,buy some ball, hire a Chiropractor and fuck alot

Ahh damn its going to be a long recovery LOL

actually streching my back on the exercise ball helps alot
