I work in the it field and i sit down for a long period of time, would that cause back pains later ?

Yes, it can: You need to make sure that you have good posture and an ergonomic chair and work environment. You should see a posture specialist, good chiropractor, or D.O. Who can help!

Yes: Slouching or prolonged chair sitting puts undo pressure on the lumbar muscles and spine. Try standing up from time to time, or walking around the desk. There are also stand up desks available in the market.

Back pain: Please see your doctor and ask about doing yoga. Some gentle yoga stretches can help both mind and body. You can also search John Sarno, MD for a mind-body approach to pain. Any changes to improve lifestyle would get to the root of things, e.g., standing at your desk. Peace and good health.
