Are you currently lifting weights? If so, perhaps it's just a muscle imbalance or minor strain?
Are you sitting too far from you monitor which causes you to hunch over? As for chair recommendations, "Gaming" chairs have excellent upper back support. I'd have one myself if my office wasn't so damn hot and I didn't have cats. I bought a used H. Miller Areon(sp?) for $300 a few years ago and it works well for me but I still have to make sure I sit close enough to my desk so that I don't hunch.

My monitors are a little far, and I've recently moved my keyboard closer in attempt to not hunch as much. $300 isn't too bad, I see a lot refurbished around the $500 range. |

I got a WorkPro 12000 with the allowance from work for wfh. Was on sale for $300 at Office Depot. I like it so far. Very supportive. I saw HM branded ones going for $1K+. They must be super comfortable!!

I am! A lot of adjustability which is nice. Keeps me upright throughout the day with a good bit of lower back support. Chair even tips forwards to take pressure off your hips which would have been nice when I was dealing with sciatic nerve pain. Assembly was nice and simple, and chair seems well built/sturdy. All in all I think it is a great value for the price.

This crappy thing I’ve got is killing me. I see what looks like pretty good lumbar support for yours. That’s going to be key for me. It looks like pretty good bang for the buck. What say you on the lumbar support? Anything worth detailing or just what would be expected? |

I must say, I spend as much time in an office chair as I do sleeping in bed so spending similar amounts on those things seems pretty natural to me. Since I got my chair I've had no issues with fatigue or back pain which is worth it alone.

I just picked up a refurbished steelcase Leap v2 and am happy with it. I wish the seat bottom was tilted just a bit lower in the back / higher in the front, but otherwise it is very ergonomic/comfortable. I got it at: www.seatingmind.com
which has an awesome selection of Steelcase, HM, and Knoll + others at great prices. I got mine about a week to 10 days after placing the order. Quality met my expectation for a refurbed chair at 1/2 price. Its very good, a few small pulls/pills in the fabric but otherwise perfect. |

For my stand-up workstation I tried a Herman Miller Setu and didn't like it. I like taller backs. The Aeron stool was great, but in the end I got rid of the stool altogether and got a hydraulic desk instead. I found that changing your position does more good than having the same position all day. It feels much better to stand up than to sit in a high stool, then sit down in a chair when the desk is low. As for the upper back pain, I always recommend a good ab and core workout routine. I like body saws and pikes as opposed to the standard situp. OP mentioned he lifts weights, as do I, but abs are often overlooked.
