Anyone have any back care tips? My back has been killing me since I started this new "desk job". I bought a repulsively expensive chair, an ergonomic keyboard for my laptop, an electric heating pad, memory foam pillows and mattress topper... nothing seems to help. My lower back, neck, shoulders, spine, everything hurts!! </whine>

it's both treatment and can help tell you the cause. for example if it's a strained muscle the heat might help it relax and heal. it would also help if it's a pinched nerve, improving blood flow etc.

as for the cold...it mostly just numbs...but um...yeah.

i would rotate. an hour of hot, an hour of cold...

but what the fuck do i know? i'm just the drunk whore in the corner...who's had a bad back for years. ;p
