I think your right, I have really been listening to my body lately and its telling me it doesnt like coming back to a compueter for 40hrs a week. It also doesnt like to much strenuous activity, but it does really like it when i go to the gym and work all those posterior muscles it makes me feel really good after it and for days to follow.

I think switching occupations into something with more mobility as but not to strenous for a while will definately help me. the static posture and repatative movements of working at a computer all day long are not doing me any favours.

Is it possible to achieve lasting improvement to the point where the symptoms are that minor they dont affect your life as much ? I go fward then it comes back so im wondering what will it take to continue progressing foward and foward.
