Hello,
I am not bedridden and I usually sit a good 10-12 hours per day, and I don't move a lot. Many days I don't go out of the house at all. As a result, I am having increasing back pain. Also pain in the arms and shoulders, but those mostly come and go because I get treated for it.
I get massotherapy sessions sometimes to help relax the muscles in my back and shoulders, and when the pain gets too much and steady, I get treated by a sports therapist. It hurts but it works. I don't know if being treated for my back would help that much, because it's a postural problem. And also I am running out of money for treatment.
But for the back pain, other than throwing away the stupid couch, which I can't afford to do, is there anything that helps you ? Maybe some type of vibrating device, or other ?
I guess there's not much to do except move more, but I guess I am hoping for some special magic trick ! ;-)
