Ah! I guess the difference when you're a programmer is, both could be described as spending all day sitting, but if you're at a keyboard, you can get up and walk around now and then; sounds like that matters a lot, extended over the months and years.

Best of luck with the recovery.

I'm currently a programmer as well.

Yes, at any point, I can go "I should take a 5 min walk around" or just stretch my legs, which I do relatively often. Most "sitting" jobs have that luxury. Even just stretching your arms out is a luxury. Always one hand has to be on that wheel in a confined area.
