I have severe back and neck pain for 15 years now. In fact I finally had neck surgery last Thursday. I often had severe pain from sewing. I have that Body Right Posture Brace, but with my problems, the benefits were minimal. Tilting your machine with doorstops helps some. But I usually sit at my machine and use heat and ice packs alternately for about 20 minute on and 2 minutes off. That seems to help me the most!! But ultimately the surgery was the only thing that was really going to fix my problem. Good Luck!!
