Hi everyone,
I've been really struggling with back pain. It suddenly came on in May and I've had it ever since. I'm doing physio + pilates and it's gradually going away (hooray!).
One annoying thing is that comes and goes is my buttocks feeling numb when I'm sitting down working! It can come on after only a few minutes and feels like I've been sitting in an airplane seat for 10 hours. It doesn't go away if I walk around a bit and sit back down like a numb bum normally would. I'm using the same office chair as I used at work so I don't think it is the chair.
Does anybody have any advice on how relieve and get rid of it? I've been trying glute bridges and hopefully building up glute strength with pilates. Sometimes I also sit on an acupressure mat, although I think that just distracts me with pain.
Thanks for any replies!
