RE: Seeking advice: How do you sit?
I’m not diagnosing you but it sounds an awful lot like sciatica, the source could come from anywhere even neck and shoulders. Check out dr John Bergman he explains it well. Don’t know much about chairs but you want a slight curve in the lower back the way your spine naturally sits and standing up frequently and moving around absolutely. Hope you feel better soon :) hello mr cat
Thank you, @stuffing, I will check that Dr out. Moving more definitely helps. I had a yoga class on Monday morning during which I could hardly feel it but after that it got worse again. I'm sure I'll get it under control.
If it's sciatica, a foam roller maybe?
I do a lot of yoga. I pretty much never have back ache as a result.
Thanks, @choogirl. It looks like it's only temporary and it's now improving. It wasn't from yoga, I had it before the session and the yoga made it better temporarily but then it came back. I had a nice long epsom salt bath this evening and that was so relaxing. I shouldn't be such a wuss. Lots of people live with chronic pain and what I have is nothing compared to that. It was pretty bad for a few days but I now feel a bit silly for making a fuss, haha.
