What a nightmare. It's difficult enough starting a new job and then having pain from computer work. Is it possible you can speak to your supervisor and ask for a different chair? Sometimes they will be helpful when you explain your back problem. it's worth a try.
I agree with the other person who answered to do exercises at the desk, which may help.
At night take a hot bath with 2c. of epsom salts and soak for 30 minutes. Afterwards apply an analgesic balm. For your neck use hot towels or a moist heating pad for twenty minutes and apply a balm afterwards. These treatments will help relax the muscles.
I've enclosed a link where you can find a qualified chiropractor in your area. Chiropractors can do miracles for people who work on computers.
If you have any further questions please let me know,

I also sit infront of my puter alllll day long, Like the man said make sure your seat is correct then what I do is rotate my feet every now and then, just to get the blood flowing back to my legs, stand up a least once an hour (easy if you're a smoker), stretch a bit, stomp your feet a bit take a 10 minute walk on your lunch break if you can.
Good luck

So you just started a new job ,if it is sitting at a computer and you are getting neck and back pain and depending on your age ,you probably have poor posture, when you are in pain it does block your concentration .

Sounds to me like you spend your days in front of a computer like I do. If you're not provided with a chair and setup that suit your body size you can end up with problems with spinal alignment and sciatica.
Be sure to get up and move around at least once an hour. Try exercising at your desk just to keep the circulation going.

Speak to your boss or supervisor about this problem. I'm sure they'd be glad to help correct the problem for you.

they have certain kind of chiropractors that instead of cracking your back, they align your spine. it is supposed to help with all aspects of your health. you wouldnt believe how much your spine has to do with the rest of your system. you should look into it.
