I am aware that it is normal and its the loss of fat but dang.

i have tried an egg crate cushion, a donut butt coyx or however its spelled cushion. Ive tried them on top of each both ways.

The only smallest relief I get is if I set at an angle, on my hip, with my ankle under me to keep me tilted. But this puts my foot/leg to sleep.

I have similar pain in my husbands truck, or sitting in my car longer than 3 hrs.

I can't change my office chair bc work requires all of our chairs to look identical.

HELPPPP.

Strength training can help, but it does take time. Getting up and moving frequently, lots of adjusting/squirming in between. I found a chair pillow on Amazon, I think its called Everlasting Comfort, and it does a pretty decent job. As for your office chair, can you request an ADA accommodation? Seems like a different chair would be a pretty simple, easy accommodation for them to make.

The everlasting comfort looks identical to the one I ordered.

They denied it saying that it wasnt a medical need, it was a pleasure comfort item

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry! That's really frustrating! I will say, time also helps. Once I had been in maintenance for a bit, I think my body sort of "settled" and I wasn't quite so uncomfortable, though I definitely still can't sit for very long periods of time.

Since my surgery,the only things I've sat on are soft . I took my dog to the vet and they have wooden benches to sit on. I sat down, wondered "what am I sitting on?" Got up - I moved to a different bench. "What the heck? It's on this bench ,too" . Then I finally realized " That's my BONES I'm sitting on !!!!! LOL ?

I understand them not wanting to change your CHAIR, but the cushion that the other poster mentioned is not attached in any way, is it a situation where you could purchase your own chair pad and just bring it to work with you? My workplace can be a bit draconian about that sort of thing but they've never said anything about the cushion because I brought it in myself.

BBL surgical cushion. It’s been firm and is positioned mainly under the upper thigh when seated to take pressure off of the Glutes.

I have a chair pad, the same kind mentioned above + an egg crate chair pad. but even with using them singularly or together, it doesnt help. I can't sit longer than an hour
