If you don’t have enough money for a new chair, I recommend getting these two things from amazon:
Seat Cushion and Lumbar Back Cushion Combo
Life changing! For me, at least.
·
I drive a lot and I experienced the same thing. Sitting for prolonged periods destroys my back and tail bone now. I think it’s because I have less natural padding. I got this pillow set from Amazon and it was like magic how well it worked. 12+ hours of driving with no breaks and no pain. It’s made of some kind of gel so it holds its shape very well; no smushing down into a useless pancake even after 12 hours.
·
I purchased a cushion. I found that I kept rolling my hips back and re-aggravated the injury, the improved lumbar support and seat cushion fixed my sitting posture and prevents me from putting undo pressure in that area. If that’s how you got yours.
·
I got this for myself. You can also buy the seat pad for $10 less. I work from home with 9 hour days, and my back was completely sore before I bought this. No amount of stretching helped out either. These pads and periodic stretches works wonders.

Everlasting Comfort Office Chair Seat Cushion and Lumbar Support Pillow Combo, Gel Infused (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JQ2V33Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_W70FFPRDCMMENEQH633H?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I finally got an MRI that showed L4-5 Bulge, L5-S1 protrusion. Before starting PT a year earlier I assumed it was posterior chain issues since I’d been pretty active. I had not tried chiropractic for my sciatica, and my PT was quite testy when I asked about it for a spot in my upper back. It worked well for my shoulder a few years earlier, but differences in opinion led to me not going back.
Things I have bought and use:
Everlasting Comfort seat cushions – These have been great for all the chairs I’ve sat in at home.
Bolster pillow – Not this one specifically, and I don’t remember why I bought it, but it’s good for putting under/between my knees/back/side as needed.
A gel ice pack. My best friend during bad flare ups, I ice immediately before bed and I can sleep for a large chunk of the night.
Resistance/thera bands – I used them in PT for Pallof presses and banded side steps.
Weighted heating pad – I really enjoyed the weighted heat used at PT, and thought it might help in the prescribed “relaxation” (emotional and physical/warmup)
The giant IcyHot adhesive patches, cut down to fit better across my back. Those are nice for days when things are slightly irritated/tired, I get the knock-off CVS ones. I use regular muscle rub and Tiger Balm as well
Prescribed PT exercises (walking, nerve flossing, lunges, cobra/extensions, side planks, dead bugs, bird dogs, cat/cow stretch – We effectively followed the McKenzie method)
Things I have bought and don’t use – Pre-PT, focusing on either the wrong cause or for general rehab:
- One of those rolling massage sticks
- various and sundry foam rollers – they’re alright, but have not helped with my back
- Trigger point/massage balls to go with the foam rollers – I spent too much time thinking it was my piriformis/glutes, and pissed everything off.
- Chirp wheels – nice and decent for decompression, but I don’t use them nearly as much as I thought I would, and mostly on the upper back.
- A body back buddy – again, trying to work out knots that weren’t
- Knock-off massage gun – there’s a trend here, right?
- Door-mounted stretching trainers, yoga/looped straps, and I won a set of stretching grips. My hamstrings weren’t the issue, and stretching like they were while I was flared up did not help.
- Yoga/fitness ball – I used it at PT, figured I’d use it at home. I haven’t.
- Yoga bricks – I already had them, and occasionally would put one under my hips to decompress, but I find I like the small/medium wheel better. They’re good for modifying positions.
- CoQ10? Osteo BiFlex w/ Vit D. MagniLife Back & Leg. My mom said her friend did the OBF with great results. Nothing else worked, there were decent coupons/off brands, why not?

I was wondering how I could get the wrinkles out. Thank you. The cushions are honestly the best investment ever. Here’s the link

yeah, no problem.
Like I said it’s definitely not perfect. the back rest in the combo is definitely better than the butt pillow. I heard that the singular butt pillow is bigger. Anyways. That’s the one. Siting on it right now and it is still retaining its shape and firmness and still relieving my pain same as day one.

This works great for office and kitchen chairs. To use in a car you might have to MacGyver it though.
