I'm 5'11" and ~150lb and I get exercise regularly. I've tried all sorts of things to further strengthen my back and upper body over the past couple years (and to improve its flexibility), but judging by the enduring pain, fitness is not a factor here.

Bad luck, then :(. Sorry to hear that... Are you in a position where money isn't playing a huge factor? Something that I have always had in the back of my head to do after I "retire" is to teach. Once you finish your degree (didn't see if you said post grad?) you'll be eligible to teach in some states (I know you can in IA if you have a Bachelor's in anything).

> Neck muscles, shoulder, upper back. I have the same problem. My wrist/forearm problems are symptoms of a problem that starts up at the shoulder and back. One thing that has helped me tremendously is a foam roller. I have one that allows me to lie on it with my spine parallel to the roller length. I use it in the morning before work and in the evening after work (for about 10 min.) and I find it really helps release built-up stress and fatigue in my back and shoulders. http://www.healthyback.com/products/glidepoint/foam-rollers/486 http://www.healthyback.com/products/glidepoint/foam-rollers/...
