Hey! Finally something I know something about - back pain!! OK a couple of tips:

Sit on the front edge of your chair. Way out in front. The tops of your femurs (big leg bones) should JUST be on the chair. This will force you into a good posture.

Ask your chiropractor for a wedge pillow to sit on. Its a cheap chunk of foam that you set on the chair and sit on. It helps force you into good posture.

Bonus tip: be good to your neck. DO NOT pinch the phone between your shoulder and ear while you bang away on the PC. DO get a good pillow. I have one thats shaped like a wedge with a trench dug across it. The trench holds my head, and the rest of the pillow supports my neck. It helps A LOT.

Final tip - Try a different mouse. I use a WACOM tablet as much as I can. That eliminates the wrist numbness.

Best o' luck
