Anyone else with a numb bum? I know the cure is to get up and move around, but I would really like to type for more than an hour at a time. Any ideas?

Help! My butt is numb! SM

Okay, I'm working in the office for the next month training someone (I work for a hospital). Anyway, cubicle that is supposed to pass for my workstation is AWFUL! Because all the MTs are at home, the hospital of course doesn't spend money on office furniture and the chair I have to use is just the pits. It leans slightly to the left and forward and my left buttock is going numb and sometimes aching (like a pinched nerve). I don't really want to gripe or complain because I'm only here temporarily, but man I miss my comfy chair and desk at home!


So I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions of things I can do to center my chair a little better. It has wheels, so putting something under the chair to raise the left side up won't work. I have thought about a seat cushion of some sort, problem is I'm afraid putting a cushion under my left buttock will throw everything off and cause me to have issues on the right side of my back and butt!


It is amazing how one tiny little shift can wreak such havoc! I feel like the princess and the pea!

I know exactly whatyou mean! I don't know if it's my age or what, but I am also very sensitive to my seating. I don't understand why they won't let you bring in your own chair just while you're working there. If I take a job at the local hospital and am not able to bring in my own chair, I won't make it through the day!

Speaking of chairs, I prefer a knee chair with a back, but the cheapest ergonomic one I've seen is $400 from BizChair. It has kind of a sling for a seat. It seems that almost any traditional seat makes my "cheek" bones ache by the end of the day. Any suggestions out there for us sensitive sitters who don't want to take out a loan for a seat?
legs get kinda numb ???
Does anyone else experience this?  After sitting at my 'puter and transcribing, my legs feel like they are asleep.  Not really pain but numb.  It does not necessarily happen after long periods of typing.  It can be after just an hour or two?  What causes this and what can I do about it?  Or is it even related to sitting in a chair all day?
