Soft seat????
Posted , 10 users are following.
Was told not to sit on soft seats ie my comfy chairs as hip could go out of line . Nearly five weeks post op and wondering if I could sit on soft seat if raised. Butt sore on ot chair.
Such a silly question to be asking with all the people in pain on this forum but where else could I ask cos I can be sure someone here had discussed this. Review 11 days time hooray. Maybe restrictions will be lifted.

a) make me go less than 90 degrees
b) have my knee higher than my hip
c) be hard/impossible to get out of
Personally I think softer seats are fine as long as you have height that will allow you to sit up (rtaher han be doubled up) and have your knee below your hip. I borrowed an 'old people's home' style chair from my in-laws and in fact my home office chair is the most comfy of all - I can raise the height to the max and have it slightly tilted forward. Great for the dining table.

wheel so prob notva good idea. Occupational therapy chair is probably home for older people style chair.
When dob you have restrictions relaxed?

I am seeing my consultant on Monday so am hoping to get some or all restrictions lifted next week.....
I was lucky that the in-laws also had a raising device for the upright chair, to get it up to the height that I needed.... (see pic)

Lots of colours and fabric finishes - and around £12 each. My osteopath had them in his waiting room so I just copied him.
You will never ever regret this spend - pm me if you want the url.

I am sitting on my comfy recliner now at 5 weeks (shhhh) and my angle is probably 90 degrees but I don't sit in it for very long. Probably lie down more than sit in it
I also got rid of my raised toilet seat today as I go back to work next week and I'm certainly not going to be taking that in with me!!
Also had my first trip to the shops walking without my crutch, limping a little but felt pretty good. I got a new pair of sneakers obviously with a lot more support than my other shoes and it's amazing the difference they have made to my gait.
My review is on Monday and I'm hoping that my restrictions will be lifted also, can't wait to get my independence back!
