I sit in front of a computer most of the day, and my low back pain is often horrible, exhausting and distracting. (I'm 27, if that matters.)
I've tried using this lumbar support thing that attaches to the lower part of the chair's back. It helps somewhat, but to get any benefit, I'd have to press my back to the chair - the moment I lean forward to type or look over some paperwork, my back starts to hurt again.
I used to do a lot of weightlifting up until a couple of years ago. I did plenty of squats and deadlifts. I always assumed those exercises had developed a great foundational strength in my low back, but now I wonder if they did more harm than good. (And yes, I paid a lot of attention to proper form when doing squats and deadlifts.)
Anyone know of any solutions? It's really interfering with my work.
