...Should not be taken lightly. My back has been hurting for over a week now.
I replaced my chair last weekend and it seems to be getting better.
This isn't the first time I've had job related back issues either.
For all of those that think I must be an old geezer, I'm 27.
Let this be a warning to all you young people out there who are just starting their job at the office (or a reminder for those who've worked there for a while)...
Get a good chair and a well adjusted desk.
Unlike your software your body doesn't have a backup!

I'd farther recommend some sort of exercise, even taking a long walk at lunch. Your body is made to be moving. Sitting all day (even in a good chair) will leave aches and pains eventually.
I learned this at the ripe 'old' age of 30.

Per Day? 
Per Week? 
Per Year?

Alright, you got me... It's actually my strategy to get more work done during the day. As soon as someone enters my office they get this weird look on their face, turn around and make a run for the bathroom. My daily interruptions are at an all time low and my productivity is soaring. I plan to take the car to work one of these days so my boss can enter my office and promote me for my superior productivity

That was my first thought but I live in the tropics and work in an "open plan" bench type set up.

In that case it's also a great strategy to get your private office

Good suggestion, I'll put it in practice ASAP - also it is 42 km from home to work, should work pretty fast!

I bike every day as well. It's 34km round trip, but I couldn't imagine having to drive it. I would likely wind up dead from a stroke after all the road rage.

Just because you do plenty of exercise, don't think that compensates completely for sitting 8 hours a day! It does help of course, but you need to get up, take a walk. Work standing some of the time, and sitting at other times. Change things around a bit.
A bad back is pretty minor compared to some of the things you can get by sitting all day... like SO many of us do!

I'm 47, and don't drive. In spite of programming for over 20 years, I've just begun developing back problems in the last 3 or so (due to a fall-related coccyx injury). I put it down to lots of walking, cycling and casual exercise, integrated into daily life.

Cycling does very little to work your back muscles, or any of your core muscles at all. Great for the legs and cardio in general, but a more comprehensive workout routine will go much farther in strengthening your core and addressing back problems.

Yes I recommend yoga also

There are basically only two muscles that keep you upright; stomach and back if you let one go the other has to compensate.

I've let them both go. I'm very free-spirited.

Don't feel left out I've let mine go too and I feel it with everything I do.

Yes, I've had my spine removed long ago since it was really just a bother anyway.
Much easier to be spineless these days.

Judging by the popularity of movies about snipers, being spineless is much more common, too.

There were more? What did lose after that, your soul? I got it, your mind... 
(Bank account balances don't count, I'm sure that was gone after the first)
It was broke, so I fixed it.

After the first you just assume the position and wait for the reach around that never comes.
