I've been having lots of back and neck pain lately.. mostly due to the massive amount of time I've ever spent sitting at this computer. I went to the chiropractor...he was fixing my pain...but I was just re-messing-everything-up since I continued to sit here playing poker lol. I don't go anymore because he's too far away.

How bout the rest of you? Do you have back or neck pain (or both)?

Anyone have a therapeutic chair or something cool?

I play with my laptop at at my home bar.

A barstool is the worst thing to spend a lot of time on. My back used to KILL me all the time. But I played through it...I guess my back adjusted. Pain eventually diminished through persistence.

So quitcherbitchin and get back to the card game. :P

Don't you have a couch? Or do you need to be that close to the beer at all times?

I have a descent chair at home and that has saved me from most of the back ache but my necks are pretty much jammer, especially because I also currently work in an office. I should be buying a good chair soon, or else my necks will be in a condition that I just simply cant play poker because of my headache. Also, I am looking for a good looking girl to massage me

I sit on a donut when I play poker and have a padded toilet seat.

i bought a chair like ake's except it was like 60 bucks and from walmart, it was great on my back and really easy to use with a laptop in my lap and my feet up on my bed. one day a friend was in there watching tv in my chair and he leaned back and the base of it broke and he tilted all the way back and hit the ground. serves the asshole right for sitting in my chair
i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

I sit with my laptop in a $800 down-filled slipcover sofa chair and prop my legs up in a matching $200 ottoman with extra throw pillows for my back and head.

mmmmmm... feng shui.
