Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Since you are spending lot of time siting down working on a computer, the back muscles are getting strained, causing pain.
This is one of the professional hazards that you are having.
Try to frequently change your posture and don't work continuously at a stretch. Take frequent breaks to stretch your legs and relax your back muscles.
Avoid taking any pain killers, as they are harmful to the body.
