Does anyone know of a device to wear while working that will help me keep my shoulders down and back? Thank you.

You can do a Google search for the appropriate exercises and set up a little routine for yourself. A light weight would be good to start 1-2 lbs. If you don't have weights, you can use a small can of tomatoes, just shy of 1 lb. Also, don't forget to stretch before and after you do your exercise (feels so good). It also helped me to set up my monitor at the appropriate height and distance, so I don't find myself scrunching forward to see what's on the screen; and making the print larger (zoom) helps avoid this tendency. At my age, 66, I already have a bit of a dowager's hump because I didn't follow my own advice at a younger age; but doing these exercises now has improved things and helps me keep things from getting worse.
