Sore coccyx, looking for a kneeling chair

10 replies

NeedaNewName · 12/01/2010 21:21

Not sure if this is the right place to post or not but here we go.

Fell down the stairs a couple of weeks ago and my coccyx really hurts when I sit down but is even worse when I go from sitting to standing - and working at a desk all day is really not helping.

I also suffer from terrible posture (due to being at a desk al day!) and have often looked at the kneeling chairs. Had a chat with DH and hes suggested I get one (will try and get work to help contribute too if I can) but heres my problem, I've seen one I like the look of but I have no idea of its any good or not.

So, does anyone have one or know about them? Which one would you recommend? Which one should I avoid? Or are they a waste of money anyway? Please help me!

TIA

DH has this one and finds it comfortable, tho it took him several days to adjust to the posture change.

I have this one as my work chair, and I really like it. It's also good if you are a bit of a fidget as it rocks

Thats the one I'm looking at CMO but it is a bit pricey. Is it comfortable and easy to get used to? Can it be used all day as I've read somewhere that you shouldn't use a kneeling chair all day - but thats what I need!

Mooching that one also looks good.

I am hoping to go to the Back in Action shop ion Trafalgar Sq today to try a few out. I really can't sit on a normal chair atm but I'm hoping it will pass

Yes, very comfortable. I've been using it for over two years now, and sit in it all day with no problems - but you aren't really putting as much pressure on your knees as other kneeling chairs I have seen.

Back in Action are super helpful, so I'm sure they will sort you out

I was trying to go in to the shop today but the trains all seem to be cancelled and no ones answering the phone so not sure they're even open by coccyx is really killing me now. Also can't get out anywhere to buy a cushion to help. Usually I love the snow - but not today!

Many thanks Raphael, I will have a look

I've ordered the chair and cushion(hopefully coming tomorrow), the trouble is (well its good really!) it doesn't seem to be as bad now, but I don;t know if thats cos its getting better or I'm learning how to cope with it or sit / lie in positions that doesn't hurt!
