Hi, I just got over this "bug" I had, but it left me with a persistent cough, and a post-nasal drip that is driving me crazy. I feel as though there is mucus in my bronchial tubes but it feels like it's gotten "hard", I can't seem to cough it up (or loosen it). I was thinking about taking a cough syrup to loosen it up because I can't even sleep! I don't know if that stuff is really o.k. though. Can someone help me? Rachel

When I used to work as a truck driver (sitting down a lot), I had a pain that wouldn't go away until I changed my sleeping position or adjusted my bed (I don't remember), but that pain probably didn't last even a month. I've had other back problems that come from sitting in a chair that is one or two inches too tall. But this might not be a back problem at all, maybe by sitting wrong, you pinched a muscle or blood vessel that irritated your pelvis or prostate or even a urology problem. Cross reference some of these other forums, especially "ASK AGNES & BOB" and "ASK LILLIAN". It might not be a bone problem, it might be that an organ is pressing on the bone. I had some back pain caused by a lack of bowel movements. There were times when I didn't eat and my digestion would slow down and even stop. When the digestion stops, so do the bowel movements, and all of the undigested food in you presses against the backbone, so ask on other forums and gather clues, it might be hard to get an accurate diagnosis on-line, but be persistent.

Hello, Hedvig. I was just watching the shopping channel (Canada) a few hours ago, and i saw this great product, you should try it out! It let's you sit on a chair, but your tailbone doesn't even touch the chair! I don't know where you're located, but here's the link on the manufacturers site - http://www.relaxobak.com/deluxe.asp . Good luck.

I think I'll try the ciropractor as it's some kind of injury for sure, my weight was on my tailbone in this unusual sitting position (well, I forgot to say before: I'm very skinny and not much cusioning I have there... :) ) - it's just amazing how much pain I've had from this. And until it's better, I'll try that pillow too.
Thanks a lot.
