Ergonomics - Do you sit or stand?

File Sold:
I'm having some serious back problems, because I sit way too much in front of my computer. Getting some fancy leg pain from herniated disc. That sucks :(

So it's time to change my routines and I'm going to get an electric desk so I can stand more. I already have a gym ball that I'm sitting on so that my posture stays good :D

Has anyone else had any health problems by sitting too much and is there any self treatments that you've found successful?

I'm probably going to buy this one:

I've had lots of problems over the years, and still do. I think most people who sit a lot either have problems or will soon. I bought a Geek desk (motorized sit/standing desk) and it's been great. I stand when I'm working at home, but still sit at work. I need to get another one so I can go back and between sitting and standing at work.

Don't go straight to just standing - that's hard as well. Take time to adjust and find your mix. Overall, you'll be happy with this purchase, I think.

Please "don't try this at home", standing in one and same place is much worse than sitting! The solution is carry on as you doing your computer works, but a while go outside for a walk, perhaps you got one image more, if you take camera with you :)

Work on abdominals and dorsal muscles…
I am serious it helps a lot

I had neck pain for years. And thereby regularly severe headache. Was almost unbearable.
Was with a massage in the hospital many times over.
With a heat light, etc.

Has helped me very well .. for about 20 minutes :)

Since I'm doing sports (light weight training) it is completely gone.
Lying down and push up two dumbbells upwards. Such similar exercises in the gym. Have since then no more problems. Simple as that.
