    Hi it's hard to advise you without knowing what country you are in as the law is different everywhere.  I am in the UK and under Health and Safety Law here your employer is obliged to make sure any equipment you use in the office is comfortable for you and conforms to the requirements.  They would adjust your chair or even give you a special one which resolved your back problems.  I don't know if your employers can do this but why not ask.

    Another solution could be to work standing up for a while if possible.  Or get up every hour or so and have a break,  use the toilet,  make a drink etc.  

    Good luck and I hope you get it sorted.  x
