justLisa Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Not that I should be sitting around long enough to find out, but: Sometimes when I drive I get out and my back hurts. Like my lower/sides. Almost my hips. When I sew I am sitting on the edge of my chair and getting up and down constantly so I don't notice as much. When I'm on my computer sitting back in a chair it hurts. What gives? And it doesn't take long. 5-10 minutes sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeganCupcake Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 It could be that you have a tight psoas--sitting puts it in flexion, and a tight psoas will wreak havoc on all kinds of things in the back and hips. Or you might be sitting on your sacrum, which is also not good and throws things out of alignment. The best answer is to avoid sitting. Can you set up a standing workstation for your computer (asked as I think, "Gee, I should be using my standing workstation right now":lol: ).

Mommyof4ks Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 That happens to me when I do not do back exercises for more than a week. If you regularly exercise those muscles, then I have no idea. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2abcd Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 It might be a problem with your sacroiliac joint(s). You might try sitting on something like this: Fit Disc http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001181P8G/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
