I suffer with a lower back problem that causes problems all over the back & shoulders & neck, in fact i've got neck probs at the moment. try a packet of frozen peas or sweet corn wrapped in a tea towel, should numb the pain a bit. Or stand under a power shower if you have one aimed at the area it hurts, obviously not cold though, whatever suits you.

Well, I can offer some advice on how to prevent it from happening again based on my experience.

I use a gaslift/swivel chair (decent priced ones in Argos) and set the backrest ramrod straight at a 90 degree angle. Practise sitting back with your back straight and not hunched or leaning towards your Pc; difficult but habit-forming after a while. And instead of leaning forward when you want to get closer to your Pc roll the chair forward on it's wheels. I learnt this the hard way back when I worked in an office desk job, which was the last time I had back/neck ache from poor sitting posture. If you spend a lot of time at your Pc you really have to buy one...it pays for itself.

I hope that helps.

Depends on ur job too,if you have a strenuous type of job ie:computer job or lifting and humping stuff about,or you just cycle to work that'll make it worse. wink
