Peggy,

    20 years ago I had back surgery ( L5 removed ) in part due to the
    long hours I spent working in one position at a workbench. 

    After surgery I was told not to sit for more than an hour or two
    without standing up to move and stretch. 

    Unfortunately I was never able to follow those directions since I
    always seemed to be too busy. Several years went by with pain in my
    lower and upper back constantly with me until I finally decided it
    was time to start doing what I was instructed to do. 

    I must admit that to this day I will still push it but as soon as I
    start feeling the tightness and pain, I stop working and stand up
    and move. 

    Take care of your back. Once you have back problems, you always have
    back problems. 

Good Luck
