Ugh, I'm In Pain.

So I recently cleared off the unused desk to create a workspace for myself. Unfortunately, it's not a very comfortable workspace right now. I'm dealing with back and hip pain at the moment. I also had to buy an adjustable laptop stand to get my laptop screen at eye level so that I could keep my posture headaches at bay. It's fixable though, or at least I think it's fixable. I'm thinking it's time for a new chair for my desk. I want one that's not as wide so I can push it in closer to the desk. I'm on a budget at the moment, so I'm going to check a few thrift stores first before ordering one offline. I don't want to put it off for too long though. I'm in pain now, ya know? This means I'm going to have to limit the number of thrift stores I check before just hitting up Amazon or eBay or something. Sooo, hopefully I can find a decent one without breaking the bank. It's only my second full week back to work since Mom's passing, so I'm not really looking to spend too much on it right now. But I may not have a choice if I don't find one at the thrift store. Anyway, I may need to move to the dining table or couch, which is going to defeat the purpose of creating my own little workspace, but I'm not going to be able to get any work done if I'm in pain either.

I am sorry to hear this Tammy. I hope it eases for you the pain. I can totally relate. I need a new chair also.

Thank you so much. I hope you can get a good chair soon. It's important for doing much of anything in a workspace.

I had sciatica from sitting in a chair, it was terribly painful! My hip was in miserable pain, day and night.

Ouch! I hope it doesn't bother you much (or at all) now.

@tammys85 I was on steroids for 10 days, to ward it off.

I hope so too. I was planning to decorate my workspace and tidy it up; not doing that until I can use it again. And well, until I can get rid of that bulky chair. Thank yoooou!

Can you ask around? Maybe someone in an office has a chair to give away (because they bought a new one?)

My brother-in-law is going to check the office at the warehouse of his work. Otherwise, I can do a pay-in-four thing and get it off Amazon. I did ask one of my brothers and he said he didn't have one.

I hope you can find a suitable chair in a thrift store.

Thank you. I'm either going to get one used from someone or order it off Amazon. I had caught a cold and never made it to the thrift store. I just wanted to go home and sleep.
