Numbness when I sit

I can't sit for more than a few minutes before my butt goes numb. It makes flying on a plane a miserable experience. Any thoughts for relief?

oh...u might also want to look into a book on awareness thru movement by Mose Feldenkrais.....it covers posture and how it affects our overall health.

I hope the suggestions help.

Keep us posted on ur progress

Wow, that was a quick response. I have not had an MRI. But, I do have terrible posture and spend most of the day working on the computer. I will look into the lumbar pillow - I appreciate the suggestion.

Hi and welcome to the back and neck support forum.

U may want to use a lumbar pillow and see if it helps...posture is important to our overall health.

If it continues I would suggest u see a dr to see what could be causing ur issue....possible pinched nerve??

Have u had ne MRI's of the lower back?
