Back Pain when working, not when gaming for the same time. any advice? - eviltoast

So I‘ve been a gamer for all my life, never experienced back pain. Not while on the couch, not while pc gaming, never.

But now since I work on a computer in an office all day long, after not even 2 hours my back feels weird and i have the urge to stretch and bend and even crack it, even though i never did thos, not even after a wow all-nighter.

Any tips?

    I just recently realized how important lumbar support is. I was on the couch watching tv and randomly decided to put a folded up blanket behind my lower back. Lo and behold it gave me a sense of relief I wasn’t even aware I needed. I realized why my computer chair and my car seat are designed that way.

      Same happened to me when driving semis. Never bothered with it in the past but I found the seats in the cabs were crippling so I just decided to mess with the settings, pumped the lumbar support all the way up and oh boy did that feel great.
