I have got quite severe backache, somewhere between the shoulder blades. There are parts where the muscles seems very hard and tense. Been to a couple of great massages :D but on the long run, it'll come back again.
The other day I sat at my machine and done a little quilting and there it was again, severe again :x so I'm assuming it could come from the way I sit at my sewing machine or even maybe the computer.
Has anyone got any suggestions what to do to help this problem??? Would be very thankful for any ideas.
I love quilting and I always pray the Lord will keep my eyes fit enough, my hands and my back too, so there must be a solution!!! :thumbup:
Thanks for your replies and God bless you all!!!

I don't know if someone else has given you this tip, but if you are a bit "top heavy" - - as in bigger than a C cup in the breast area? Check your bra support.
I could tell you a big long story about working at a clothing factory and finding out that thick bra straps are needed for persons who are working with sewing machines, but I wouldn't want to bore you. Suffice it to say - - table height, chair height, back support all goes into it, but lack of bra support can cause a bunch of back problems, too.
Make yourself get up and move around every 45 minutes or so <wave>
