I suffer from stenosis of the spine, caused from injury. I have had back surgery, but unfortunately it was only temporary. I have several high stools in the shop, so I can take the load off of my back from standing. For me, this helps. I can only stand for about 5 to 7 minutes before I have to sit. But the interruptions help keep me focused on the task. I don’t know if that helps, by the way, the stools I got at Bass Pro, the padded bar stool type. -- Methods are many,Principles are few.Methods change often,Principles never do. |

You might try a wheelchair. I don’t know the exact problem with your back, but I find that sometimes at night I have to get up and set up to relieve my discomfort. I can stand for short periods like union label, but I can’t walk. -- Yesterday I could not spell welder; Today I are one. |

Ditto on the bad back, two surgeries, three fused discs and they want to do more! |

I also have a back that seems to complain way too much. The ritus brothers(Art and Osteo) have been hard at work all over this old body. I have raised all my machines to a consistent 45” so that I do not lean over to work, I also have numerous stools, and a very comfortable desk chair to sit in when I must. Also I have found that I can now tell when I must sit, or the pain will only last much longer. Dez: I also have very poor knees, and the kneeling chair worked for 20 minutes, and it went back out the door! I hope that each of you have taken a course in exercising the back from a Physical Therapist. There is much to gain from better posture and exercises that strengthen the back. Best of luck, Hope some of this helps. -- chas |
