Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I got this piece of information through my email last night. Thought it is quite a common problem for most people and there was also a post recently regarding back pain. Sometimes I do experience some back pain due the sitting down for too long and incorrect way of sitting. A little adjustment would be able to help in my case for most time. Hope this piece of information would help someone whose back pain is not so severe and due to long sitting hours. A few years back, lower back problems could have been termed rare, however today it's become as common as the common cold. If doctors are to be believed almost 95 per cent of the population suffers from low back pain at some point in their life. Says Dr Surya Prakash, an orthopedic surgeon, " Almost 50 per cent of my outpatient turn up has this complaint. Most are in the age group of 20 to 40. " While most often people tend to neglect such pain, they are advised not to, for it could get serious, resulting in sciatica (slipped disc), spondylolysis or spondilolythesis. That's exactly what happened to Vinai Rajaram, a research scholar, whose work in the lab involved sitting at one place for long hours, studying samples and carrying out experiments. " Eariler I thought it was normal back pain and neglected it. I would sit at one place for 5-6 hours at a stretch. Then when I started feeling a kind of numbness in my legs, I checked with a doctor and was told that it's just the beginning of spondilolysis. I've been advised to wear a lumber belt while working, " he says.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 What do you do about back pain when you're an active person who really doesn't like to sit for long periods of time? That's the problem I'm having. My legs are even going to sleep on me while I'm walking. Curious, isn't it?
