Thanks for all the suggestions. The biggest issue is the fact that I have an overbearing mother hen of a supervisor and every time she sees on the system activity that I am not actively working she rushes over to my desk to try and "catch me"!! It it's so ridiculous I'm too the point that I wish they would fire me just so I don't have to deal with he foolishness any more. I think she is jealous that I'm pregnant and having a girl as she was only able to have one child and it was a boy (16 years ago)
If I sit more than 40 minutes I get so sore that I struggle to get up! Try getting up and walking up the hall or go somewhere to do a few pelvic tilts to stretch out your back and hips. Good luck!
Get up and move occasionally. I know when I sit too long without waking around it hurts. I can't walk a lot ask at once, but I can't sit a lot all at once either
I had a desk/seated job and was able to elevate my feet with another chair and small pillow. It really helped. I also had to walk to the water fountain frequently so it was a very short break. Can't you stand for some of your shift? Do stretches--even if they're arm/neck stretches.
A yoga ball my help. You would be able to rock and roll your pelvis and stretch out your lower back.
I hear you! I brought a pillow from home to put partially under my butt, and part of my back, which seems to help. I also get up a lot to go to the bathroom, which helps so I'm not in the same position all day.
I hope you can find a way to be more comfortable, because it sounds like it is almost unbearable!
