A member asked:

What should i do for my back. it hurts so bad especially in the middle from top to bottom. my current work requires a lot of sitting, please advise me?

Get checked out: You need to get checked to uncover the cause. Most likely it is posture related, but it could be something that can be addressed with chair style, posture, brace, pt, meds, or various other things. The key is to get it checked out so you can know the cause and thus attempt to improve and prevent the symptoms.
