A member asked:

Have i damaged spine by sitting in front of my pc 15 hours a day every day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: When sitting & working in front of a computer, i would recommend that you investigate obtaining a good ergonomic chair with support for the lumbar & upper back area. You should periodically get up and stretch your muscles. Even when seated, there are exercises that can be performed.
