Sitting at a desk all day

[Zander1983]

I'm coming towards the end of this semester's finals and my upper-back is really giving me the shits.

My time is split between work on the computer and hunching over books writing practice papers. There's nothing I can do about that and I have to put up with it for another couple of days.

I got a nice massage from my girlfriend last night, but the relief was only temporary and it started hurting within an hour of hitting the books again this morning. I think I might try a heat pack...

Any good stretches or remedies for my sore upper-back? Between the scapulas it is at its worst...

My bed is comparatively soft, but its not the problem.

rev - that is taken care of.

Not sure about a sore upper back. I had some lower back pains and something that helped me a lot was looking into my bed. It was way too soft and didn't give enough support. I made it more firm, removed a cotton feather bed from it and I haven't had any back pain since.

I'm not sure what would help upper back pain if that didn't.
