i am a meeting planner and basically most of the time am sitting at a desk hooked up to a computer and phone. for about 2.5 weeks, i travel for work during the year.
i suggest when sitting, you either sit on one leg and then switch. make it comfy so that you are not directly sitting on your bum and let it feel as if it is floating on air.
you could get a seat cushion or simply a big cushion for your chair to disguise that you really need the seat cushion.
also, get up every 15-20 minutes to take a little walk around your office to help blood circulation.
you may want to set up your computer high where you can stand while using it.
have plenty of moist wipes at your desk and use them when you need to go to the bathroom.
on very irritating days for me, i try to use VICKS to sleep the irritation away and it really does help me. it makes coming to work bearable mostly but sometimes i am just too wiped out to even bother coming in.
if you can, lay on your back on the floor to give your body a break. also, laying on the floor with legs completely elevated and straight against the wall, like if your body was in an L shape and your buttocks through your feet are parallel and glued to the wall, doing that for 10-15 minutes is very restorative.
good luck coming back to work!
