When i am on my laptop my back kills me. i have great posture and never slouch so why does my back hurt so much when i am sitting doing something?

Lumbar strain: Although your posture may be great, prolonged sitting can put a strain on your lumbosacral musculature. I suffer from the same ssue and recently purchased a plush lower back ( lumbar) laptop study pillow- simply wonderful.
