Me, I have a disease which is kinda wiping out my connective tissue over time, which includes those lovely soft discs in my spine, dammit. Biggest current issue with that is that it’s getting harder and harder to sit at my desk for more than ~15min without lower back pain ratcheting up…
So I was wondering if anyone here with lower back issues has found a chair that helped them sit?
From L-R, T-B, chair #2 is a saddle chair, which looks kinda interesting. Chair #4 is one I used to have, which seemingly tries to keep the spine perfectly straight-up, but it was also hell on my knees.
Now, chair #3 kinda looks like a Star Trek-style bumper-car that I’d want to ride in my very last visit to an amusement park. 😄

how are you with standing? I say this because my wifes issue is more about one position over time than any particular one. Anything but laying down is limited in time and even if she mixes it up she will eventually need to lay down. That being said mixing it up is what works the best. If you have a standing desk and a barstool kind of office chair that you can sit at ergonomically at the standing height that is ergonomic. Well then you can switch between standing and sitting pretty easy because the chair is so high. So you don’t have to fall into the chair or rise up as much out of it. I find the height of the chair ends up being about but height so easy to get into. I don’t know if it would be better for you but food for thought.
Ich weiß deine Gedanken zu schätzen.
Indeed, I do need to shift around a lot, even as someone who’s mainly bed-bound. Now, one practice that seems to have been very good for me is to walk around my apartment on my tippie-toes, which is something I learned from from training tischtennis. I also like dancing and moving my whole body around as much as I can, before my energy gives out.
if your mainly bed bound your condition sounds a lot like my wife. There is surgeries she could theoretically try but it kinda seems like you might be worse off than before so its a big gamble. Basically it sounds like you don’t really want to try until you are literally in a wheel chair.
