Sorry to continue this theme of 'not so much the chair but the application of it' but if you are suffering from a fair degree of discomfort I'd say see a professional sooner rather than later. I cunningly waited and got a herniated disc for my troubles. I'm not sure if you have an equivalent wherever you might be but here (New Zealand) we have a government department which will organise workstation evaluations (monitor high enough, desk height right etc) which may be a better thing long term. Also wanted to mention I had a crack at the yoga ball thing and it just exacerbated matters, I'm sure it works well for some folk but just dependent on where exactly the problem is.
