Hi Art, I have had pain like that. My physical therapist evaluated me, and concluded that it was actually from poor posture - if I sit on our comfy reclining leather sofa very much, the pain comes. Also if I have poor posture at the computer it's there.
If I have good posture, sit upright & stretch regularly it mostly stays away. (PS I have fibromyalgia & severe arthritis)
Just something to consider. OUr recliners are not always the best place to be.
