I too have back issues mainly the base of my spine is no longer curved but almost straight this forced me to have to stop my job as a kitchen/bathroom bedroom fitter but having been on the tools for all my life I was going stir crazy so took this up around 3-4 months ago. I cannot sit too long so do a bit leave it a bit I also scroll standing on bad days as well that helps but it is what it is you are dealt certain cards it all depends how you play them.
