Best ergonomic support for lower back pain?

Question:

I have to sit at a desk for several hours a day, and the chair doesn't support my lower back at all. The pain is severe now. I have scoliosis in my upper back and have had lower back problems off and on for years.

I'd like to find a good ergonomic cushion so I can take it everywhere with me. There are so many to choose from. I'd like one that gives maximum support to the lower back. Any suggestions?

Answers:
there are a million options, but the best is to find a comfortable chair, with some pressure against the low back, set your computer and work items directly in front of you on the desk, and adjust the height to a comfortable level. Take a 3 minute break each 30 minues and walk around (on some errand), stretch and ease the tension.

the real answer will come by becoming a gym rat, working out daily for the first 6 months to strengthen your core stabilizers and loosen the areas of tightness in the spine.After that, you won't be happy unless you work out at least three times weekly.

Buy a few and try them all out, or keep one in the car, one at work, etc. Each back is different. They can really help a lot, and are a good idea, but don't forget to exercise. (I don't like memory foam much, but some people love it - give me plain old foam rubber!)

go see a chiropractor and ice it will help
