I work in the helpdesk as a support tech. So naturally I have to sit for 8 hours straight 5 days a week.
This crap finally caught up with me and I've been down with horrible back pain for more than two weeks now. Tried physical therapy, exercises... Nothing helps. All useless.
I was offered a steroid shot, but I declined. Too many potential drawbacks.
I did an experiment. No sitting for a whole day. Only standing or laying down. And immediately, there is a difference! The pain is less and I can actually walk (barely) but still, its progress!
I am very far away from being back to normal, but at least there is some positive dynamic. Finally!
Cant wait to be pain free...
If you had similar issues in the past, please share. What exactly helped you? How long did it last?
Thanks!
