What do you mechanics do to reduce back pain

I'm noticing my back pain is getting a lot worse over the past few weeks. (Diesel mechanic medium duty pickups etc)

I don't know what I'm doing different but I need some advice haha.

Does anyone have any decent stools or chairs to recommend. I do a lot of standing while working, I'm sure that definitely contributes to the back pain.

What jeans hold up the best

About 6 months ago I bought 3 different jeans to see what held up the best. Used each pair about once a week. I put the pictures below. All 3 are very comfortable, Ariat M5 is my favorite.

Pic 1: premium performance wrangler cowboy - cut

Pic 2 Ariat legacy

Pic 3: Ariat M5

IMO they all are sub par quality. Wrangler is the worst for sure. M5 held up the best besides the fuckin crotch tearing up. M5 is also the most comfortable.

Really not that impressed with any of them.

I bought 4 pairs of Ariat rebar jeans to replace these a while ago. Definitely seem to be a bit tougher. Not as comfortable but are definitely well made and noticeably heavier.

What other brands would you recommend, I've really only used Ariat and wrangler, also had some other random brands that were completel dog shit. Junk after less than a month

Anyone interested in a 2011 lml

Seeing if anyone wants to buy my lml for $8750

Well maintained. Has an issue with IAT sensor #2. Runs and drives great but is getting a little too much fuel.

Ariat boots are blown out after 3 months

I bought these 3 months ago and they are pretty tore up. I feel like I don't even use them that much, probably 2-3 days a week. I took them to cal ranch to see if I could warranty them. They said the boots aren't covered, due to "misuse".

I'm wondering what I should do to get a replacement since they won't help me.
