Hmmm appears to be a one shot device, better to get one with a gun (either very low calibur for 'oh why did X fall over' or very high .50 Cal or 20 mm cannon for don't mess MF) or several hold them at altiude and point to your victim. They way I am feeling this am a pitch fork would required to shift the dead.

Sounds like a great presentation for a science fiction convention but not much else.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Of course I'll go to the doctor this next week, but meanwhile...
I got a brand new Sail chair from Herman Miller.
Yesterday I saw the table at the office was a little bit inclined to the right... And now, after a couple of months sitting on the new chair I've discovered my back is aching terribly in the low end left side.
As most of the people here are sitting everyday and I guess I'm not the first one to get this kind of ache...
What would you recommend me to soften that ache a little?
Thank you all!

I think you are right...
Yesterday I did it a little and today I'm a little bit better... let's hope I'll be well soon... I know I won't die of that, but it is terrible as I can't concentrate properly... 
Thank you for posting!

Yes. I've been there. Practise sport or, at least, walking, moving. Don't wait to stop hurting to move, it's just the opposite, you should force yourself to move for the pain to disappear. If you can't sleep at night because of the pain, a heating pad works perfect for me.
You can have a terrible chair and table, but if you keep yourself active the pain won't appear. While working, try to find an excuse to stand and walk a bit every hour.

Looks fancy but not especially ergonomic, compared to mine. I've got a "Mister Sitwell". Never had backaches since.

I had to look that up. Thanks! Chairs designed for men!

I should have got the Aero from HM, but it was terribly expensive...
Possibly my next chair, but by now, Sayl is far better than the one I was using...
The problem was the unleveled table...
Let's see if I get better soon...
Thank you for your comment though, I'll check that chair when I think about changing the current one.

I have found two things to help -
(1) Going for a walk at lunch
(2) Having two tennis balls handy, lying on the ground on top of the tennis balls in the spots that ache and spending around three minutes doing the equivalent of what dogs do when they roll in something. It hurts but I have found it is the one thing that fixes my back the fastest. If I catch the ache early I find the tennis ball method can fix my back that day.

Yes, The tennis ball is a great idea. I use one against a wall. 5 minutes work with it can make a world of difference.

Glad to hear that - I have found tennis balls to be way better than any pain killers.
It's basically a deep tissue massage at a very low price.

Standing for a few moments every hour plus some gentle stretches and twisting usually helps me out

useful link but pretty sure doing the "knee to chest" stretch the way they have shown is potentially bad for your knees
I believe the hands should be round the thigh under the knee in order to avoid putting strain on the knee joint

I see what you mean but I've personally never had a problem, despite a dislocated knee cap injury from back in the day. Trying to walk however, ....

I've read the next comments sorry... nice link... I'll try the stretches...
Thank you for it
