Any advice for sitting more comfortable?

Back at work. Sitting is very uncomfortable. Is there any position that's easier? I feel tons of pressure in butt area. Worried I will stretch out repair 😱

    I know you are in the US & things are done differently but I would say you are back at work too soon. Is there any way you could take time off? It would be between 6 - 12 weeks in the UK depending on how physical your work is. It's a big operation, you don't want to over do things. Try & rest as much as possible. X

    Hi Steph

    2 weeks seems very quick. My surgeon was quite firm about the 6 weeks because I I commute into London - often standing room only! But I have been doing some work at home for the last few weeks prior to going back which has given me welcome flexibility - would you be able to negotiate something like that?

      I already did that. I an earlier post my surgeon said a few days! No way! Luckily I have a strictly sit down job but still very hard, i ended up leaving early today
