Work Issues

I am trying very hard to be positive and make it through the whole day at work.  I just have a really hard time with the pain in my back and neck working on the computer every day.  I have tried moving my monitor up and down and side to side but nothing seems to make it comfortable enough to work at it 8 to 9 hours per day.  My right hip is also getting really bad and sitting all day doesn't help.  
I guess I should change this journal entry to rambling since I really don't have any answers and I don't know if I will really find any.  Everything that I get from reading the support group entries is that it never gets any better and just get used to it.  
I really don't want to live with this pain.  I want my old live back when I could go to football and basketball games.  I can't even walk to the stadium from the parking lot without a lot of pain.  
Back to work.  Nothing will be solved this way.
