I've got one at home... the orginal model was called a Balans chair or
somesuch. Pretty good for your posture, just make sure that the knee-pad
area is well padded, or you end up with a different pain...

At one place I worked, there were a number of people that had strange chairs
that you kind of kneeled on rather than sat on. These are supposed to be
very good for posture and the relief of back pain. I don't know what they
are called though, a chiropracticer worth his or her salt should be able to
recommend something.
the last 4 months, message therapy, physical therapy for 3 months,
Message therapy, how does that work? Does someone email you telling you
that your back is not hurting?

my boss said she would bring in an ergonomics specialist from the hospital
down to evalute our positions.. I should probably tell her i'll need that..

Perhaps stress-induced tension?
Have you had your exact working position evaluated? It seems like I need
to have my hands just above my thighs and my eyes set level with the top
third of the monitor screen.
