I thought that you were going to say that your back hurt from printing, and I have seen many wearing back supports over the years.

I think the primary problem for the back pain is the contortions required to be "in" the computer. You're supposed to work "on" the computer. ;)

Post by: bimmridder on August 11, 2011, 10:31:18 PM: I never spent much time sitting,so maybe mine's not the same, but after 3 disk surgeries and more cortisone shots than i can remember and traditional and electrical acupuncture, I've been pain free for a few years. Beside the drugs and alcohol, which I still use as preventative measures, I found that alternating between ice and heat worked well.
