Title: How do you sit?
Post by: Annie on December 05, 2014, 01:39:19 AM
I sit usually with my legs out but feet intertwined, just like my mother used to do. It's an odd habit I think. I even do it in my sleep. It's seems to be the only comfortable way for me that doesn't cause pain. When I sit with my legs crossed my right hip starts to ache and then burn and cramp  ac_crying

Usually with legs crossed Annie, but not when I am at work.

I sit the same way, Annie. Being that I'm vertically challenged and kinda wide with heavy muscular thighs, sitting with my legs fully crossed has always been a bit of a problem for me.  ac_dunno



I can do it if need be but I look all contorted and stuffed into position and it's not all that comfortable.

I can't sit too long in any position. In fact, I hate sitting for too long period.

I can't sit for long either especially if I have to keep my legs bent; my knees are really bad. Surgery is the likely cure but I'm still too chicken.



Years of playing catcher has taken it's toll on my knees which BTW is a common hazard of the game. People warned me that I was going to have knee problems by the time I was 40 but when you are in your teens and early twenties you think you are indestructible.   ac_unsure



Being a little too hefty hasn't done them any favors either.  ac_dunno

Even sitting on the leather sectional with the foot rest out feels uncomfortable after a while. Sure is comfy at first, but it wears off.

Ya I can't sit for long periods of time too, and it's not healthy to do so either. I get up and go do things, go for a walk, stretch every half hour or so.

Long-haul truck drivers are proof of that.

When I spent a couple weeks in bed in hospital they had these inflatable leggings that were on my legs all the time so I wouldn't develop clots.

I have heard of bed sores for people who have been bed-ridden for a while.

For people who are bed ridden, there are beds that actually tilt and move in a programmed routine which forces you to shift positions at timed intervals. They are supposed to mitigate the possibility of bed sores.

That's good to know, Renee, when or if I'm ever bed ridden again I'm gonna ask for that bed!

Not too bad Fash, this weather brings out the bone and joint pain, making me feel so old lol I just remembered that curcumin and dandelion can help alleviate arthritus pain so I'll be picking some up next week and giving them a try.  How are you doing? All ready for the holidays? We put our tree up last week and so far the kitties have left it alone. Only a couple ornaments have gone  "missing" lol

I work with people who stand up while working because of back issues. I'm so grateful I do not have that problem. I enjoy sitting with my legs up, if possible. Too bad I can't do that while working.

Yoga is really good for the body and Tai Chi too, which I should be doing more of. I've been a bit lazy lately  ac_unsure

I use a thin gym mat, small weights for ladies and a fitness video Annie.

"y" is not a valid property value. Likely a typo, but you either need to add a hyphen between "repeat" and "y", or remove "y" altogether.
