Hey /g/,
What do I do about neck and back pain at work?
I'm usually sitting in front of a monitor for around nine hours a day at work. And it's killing my neck. I'm in constant pain and I'm so scared it's going to prevent me from working in the future and end my career in an instant.
I saw a doctor but he didn't tell me much beyond "maybe it's a spasm" and "have some painkillers", which obviously is not going to work in the long run.
Can you guys red pill me on proper health practices as a software developer?
Go see a chiropractor? Lots of people will say that chiropractic solutions are bullshit, but they're not. Feel better anon.

Go see a chiropractor then report back

Fuck chiropractors, go see a massage therapist it works way better, also stretch every day and practice good posture, get a stand up desk if possible.

i love my couch
Practice good posture. Do a physical activity.

I don't know about chiros. Aren't they based on pseudo-science and wacky theories? Can't they end up making it even worse?

maybe a chair with neck support?
the one I use at home is a full-blown office chair with a padded head rest for my neck and it does feel much better but my neck still aches a lot.
convincing my boss is probably going to be a pain though
im hitting the gym later tonight and hoping it can help me strengthen
out my back muscles eventually
wear one of these collars for neck pain at work and visit a physiotherapist

sleep on your floor for a week, and do some stretches when you wake up.

Make sure you have an ergonomic setup.
If you're on the phone get a headset. Do some stretches, get out and take breaks as much as you can.
Maybe get a standup desk
visit your doctor, get some opioids, continue being physically inactive, become addicted, develop degenerative diseases, acquire medical debt, become depressed, get more drugs, die broke and sad

chiropractors are quacks
get a foam roller OP
Stand-up desks are the best.
