No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It's most likely sitting at work for such extended amounts each day has your hip flexors tightening up. When hip flexors get tight (they're at the top of my quads connecting to the hips) they cause the hips to tilt due to the extra pull the tightened hip flexors are exerting.
Due to the hips tilting, the lower back had to work harder to compensate, and over time it causes the lower back muscles to get angry, tight, painful, and can even have muscle spasms.
I've dealt with this for years, the solution for me is hip flexor stretches, and using a roller to roll out the tight hip flexors. I've experienced the beginnings of discomfort in my lower back, then start using a "sprinter stick' to get the hip flexors to relax by rolling them, plus stretches, then my back pain starts going away.
I too work in a office, I also sit and game a lot too, so this has been a problem for me for years. It wasn't until the last year did I get told what the real problem was, and now that I have a solution, I'm happy to share that with you.
Also everyone else suggesting exercise aren't wrong, I know it sucks, but exercise helps a ton of other things too, so it's worth considering, even if it's just long walks at first. If you have any follow up questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
