I sit on a Herman Miller Aeron chair when working. Over the last several months, I’ve been experiencing pain in my left leg. Since the chair isn’t cushioned, the sharp edge of the seat is blocking the blood flow. After a prolonged period of sitting, the upper part of the back of my left thigh is sore. Sometimes, I feel the warmth of the blood pulsing. Now, sitting on other chairs is uncomfortable.
I spent a lot of money on this chair. Is there any way to retro-fit it so that I can sit on it without hurting myself? Any other ideas?
try putting a small pillow on the seat?
Get a donut cushion(medical supply or catalog.)
Also, stand up every 15 or 30 minutes and walk around the desk or office.
Sitting is the worst position for the back. Sounds like you have a pinched nerve in your lower back. Sitting as you do is putting pressure on it and radiating the pain down your left leg. I’d see a chiropractor for an adjustment.
I would but a cushion or a pillow in the chair and see if that works.
