Could the sitting position be causing the back and head pain? If so, how
does the pain in my calves fit in?

YES!  You could have trigger points.  I had some back pain that was actually 
caused by a trigger point in in my gluteus.  Point is that massage to the area 
in pain will prove futile because what you are feeling in one area could be 
pain generated from another area.  Several years ago I posted on this website 
regarding pain and someone suggested I get Clair Davies book on self trigger 
point massage (Trigger Point Therapy Workbook).  It was one of the best 
invesments I've ever made.  I have used this book so many times for everything from 
dizziness (caused by trapezius trigger point from bad computer posture) to back 
pain -- achilles pain -- arm tendonites etc etc and even headaches -- caused 
by neck trigger points and lately, TMJ.  The instructions are clear, the 
self-massage is simple and it WORKS.  Whoever it was on this site who recommended 
the book years ago -- many thanks!  I hope this may help you Kristina -- good 
luck!
