I don't know if I will become worry or not due to I'm experiencing back pain as well as knee pain. Most f the time, I'm experiencing this kind of pains due to I'm working as customer service representative with online fashion website who's I'm almost sitting in my swivel chair for 8 hours excluding lunch and breaks.

Oh! Sorry about that. These things are getting so common these days due to the long working hours at desk. Taking short breaks to walk around or move is suggested but sometimes that is not possible due to job demands.

@luisga814 Sorry about that. Do see a doctor if it continues for more days.

Yes. That's correct. I'm trying to do walk around or move a little bit but it hurts most of the time.

They say that when you sit for a very long time it takes its toll on your hips and lower back. They recommend that every 20 minutes you should be allowed to stand and walk around so the circulation is maintained. Sitting for too long can somehow slow down blood flow and the needed oxygen and other nutrients are not delivered to the parts of your body that need it that is why aches and pain can be felt in those areas.

@luisga814 I think that break can help but if are tied to your work then work standing up and stretch.

I agree with that. That's why most of the time, I just go to the comfort room just to move around. But the 20 minutes, I can't do that because I'm attending lots of difficult customers most of the time.

@rsa101 Yes. My work is all day sitting. And I'm trying most of the time at least 30 minutes or 45 minutes to stand up for about 1 minute or 2 to stretch.

@luisga814 maybe putting a cushion can help a bit. Sitting for that long will always give you pain for sure.

Try cutting out meat and dairy from your diet.

Wow. Great to know this. By the way, a while ago, I've gone to a massage therapist and after that, I bought vegetables in replacement of meat. Lol.

I´m very sorry! I had back surgery when I was around 50 years old. And my knees have been hurting a lot for some years. Now that the hospitals receive all sorts of patients, I have an appointment for a doctor for my knees. I think that there´s nothing to do though. The knees are too good to have surgery and too bad to kneel down.
