    I’m currently stuck in bed due to inflamed lower back muscles from sitting too much, it’s the worst kind of pain IMO, I’d rather have a broken leg or burns than this. If I sit, stand or walk for more than 20 minutes I get severe migraine, nausea, feeling like fainting and of course really bad back pain. I have a great chair, a malmstolen 4000, but when you spend around 10 hours a day sitting you’ll get consequences no matter how good your chair is. Unable to take enough anti-inflammatory medication because of my anxiety meds, risk of internal bleeding when mixed so I gotta take two other meds to protect my stomach and the lowest dosage of anti-inflammatory… So it’ll take a while to get better. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemies, it’s such a horrible and constant pain that makes it really hard to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes.

    Take care of your back people, you don’t deserve the bad consequences of bad posture and sitting too much.
