When you love to code so much that you get chronic lower back pain 😞 What do you guys and gals do when you get back pain? What is the best way you have found to avoid it?

Standing desk? Heat cream, heating pad

Basic yoga, 20 mins at night, downward facing dog, will sort you right out

I'm moving to a standing desk soon and I'm already loving it even though I having used it. If you're going to be sitting I would recommend getting a good chair. Or get one of those back support pillows for the chair, a good one.

External monitor(s) and keyboard/mouse on the desk, and occasional neck exercises for forward-head syndrome

Regular breaks...

external monitors, external keyboard and a good chair. it's too easy to hunch over a laptop.

I have hyper-extensive ligament syndrome, so it gets pretty bad for me.
As people have said above, external monitors, keyboard and mouse are the best. Never used a standing desk so I can't comment on them.
Usually if it's really bad I end up going to my Osteomyopath and get him to put my joints back in the right place and get rid of the muscle spasms.

Thank you for all the tips! Keep em coming...

yoga helps, and massage 😊

@captain-insaneo I can't believe I didn't know about autonomous.ai. Just ordered one! Thanks again.

Yoga. Also: look into some ergo equipment. You can't eliminate all of the strain and stress, but you can minimize a bunch of it.
