I had a herniated disc last fall. It took a good 2 months to get to a point where I could walk and sit properly again. It still hurts my tailbone to sit for more than a few minutes. I can sit for longer if I use an ergonomic chair. My chair's seat is shaped to take pressure off my tailbone. I can further reduce that pressure by tilting the chair back so the pressure shifts to my back. It's tough when I have to be in places that aren't at home or work. Even if I'm tired and just want to rest, I can't do so for very long. Sitting on pretty much anything incurs mild to moderate pain and I always have to explain it to people. It's been almost a year and it seems to just stay this way without improving any further. Doctors are surprisingly inept when it comes to back problems.
