I have a butt problem

[theRealMacoy]

i have a debilitating chronic back problem that keeps me from being able to sit-down for more than 5 minutes at a time and (no more than 30min per day total).

i actually do everything lying down, flat on my back (on a thermarest mattress), as it is the least painful position. i strapped my monitor onto the seat cushion of my fancy adjustable desk chair so that the screen agles down towards me.

it will help alleviate the symtoms for awhile if you can find creative ways to sit less....i have also tried putting everything up high and standing but it proved too painful for me.

the other thing that helps massage that area yourself is to roll yourself back and forth (while lying on your back) on top of a tennis ball on the floor....it helps loosen the deep muscle tissue of that area using your own body weight.

finally, get in to a good physio or chrio as soon as possible.....and be sure to stick to a strengthening/stretching routine as these problems tend to get worse if you are not careful.

hope you get well,
