I broke my back two years ago as a result of repetitive stress at work 
and took to Linux during my recovery. (I was a dancer in my previous 
life)  In my recovery, I had to find a chair that would work more 
naturally for balance and posture.

You'll find just as many advocates against them, but I use a kneeling 
chair and spend a huge amount of time in front of the computer with no 
more pain. They hurt like hell at first and you'll grow tired even 
sooner, when you  switch over, but they tend to balance your spine more 
naturally than an ordinary chair. Now that I'm used to it, I'll not 
switch back.

Hope you find some relief
