My back is ok, but i'm still young, and i got 5 massage per year (cover 80% by my company) which is a great help. So far just my elbow causes me chronic pain, i tried a lot of position, mouse, mouse pad, chair height, etc, ... But i guess it's just spending 12h+ per day on a computer that causes that :p After long session, just got neck pain, but only if i stay more than 10h without pauses.

Legs are always bent forward and they make the hip area tense. After figuring that out I cured my back completely by stretching my legs for a week. :) Sometimes back pain (especially in lower back) is caused just by too much sitting.

Putting some box between laptop and desk solved the problem. Its all about ergonomics I guess. I had my laptop on a pretty low desk for a few days till I got a neck pain.

Lately I've been using a 'standing' desk while I work. Its really made a huge difference. I keep a stool nearby to use when my feet get tired, but I try to keep my sitting time to a minimum. No more back problems. I had the same problems for too long. Lately I’ve been using a ‘standing’ desk while I work. Its really made a huge difference.
