My ass has fallen asleep
...and it is very uncomfortable. I've got a decent computer chair, but my bum says NAY....
I'm looking for suggestions and tips for what to do when you're stuck at your computer/desk for extended periods. Does anyone else have a problem with your legs etc. constantly falling asleep?
(I've actually got bruises on my legs from sitting sideways in my chair and them pushing against the arm rest. I really need solutions.)
btw first person to say 'spend less time at the computer' gets ...well, all the hatred I can pass to you through dial up, and I think you'll be shocked by just how much that is!

I got a nice comfy leather managers chair and it's great. I find it supports the back and back side but I don't curl my legs under me either.
I guess you gotta find something that works for you.
Currently I have my computer on a table that allows me to stand and play. At the two hour mark I usually put some 170 bpm tunes on and start grooving.
It makes a huge impact to you physically, which ofcourse helps you mentally.

Kegels FTW
Most people who are in IT have problems with computer related strain injuries.
How are you set up ergonomically?
Are you thighs parallel to the floor?
Are you feet flat on the footrest (floor?)
Are your arms parallel to the floor?
As for relief, here goes nothing:
Joke answer: Take some of your winnings and hire a masseuse. When soreness occurs, have some guy named Lars or Sven come out of the closet (so to speak) and take care of the problem for you.
Real answer: Assuming you do not make enough for option A, here is some practical advice if your back is starting to tighten up. After you fold a garbage hand, stand up. Feet together, arms at your sides. Slide left hand down left leg as far as you can, hold for five seconds, release. Go back to your game. After the next fold, repeat the process on the other side. Two or three reps each side, move to next stretch. Again, after a fold, stand up and try to touch your toes, but allow your spine to "roll" down the front. Hold for five seconds and release. A couple of reps of these basic stretches should go a long way to alleviating your back problems.
For further reading look up Dr. Hamilton Hall (the "Back Doctor") on Amazon.
Ok, you lost me...'f-o-l-d'?
I think my problem isn't related to muscle soreness so much as circulation. Even a little sore right now I can put both my palms flat on the ground without bending my knees...and I'm in high heels!
I tend to bring my legs up or sit sideways etc just because it stops them from falling asleep, but I'll try re-adjusting my seat, maybe I'm up too high and cutting off the circ. that way.
Thanks for the tips guys, if anyone has anymore I'm all ears! (I still think there's got to be a pill for this
(oh yeah re: Lars and Sven; and I'm holding out for two years until I'm 30 and reach full cougar status..then I'm hiring an 18 yr old latin man named...either Enriqué or Pablo to give me a rub down qid/prn.)
((I'm going to request that he tell me I have 'splainin tooo doo' as often as possible))
Get off the couch and do some dishes.
I really don't think we have time for a hand job right now

you wouldn't believe the gems I have safely tucked away for the right occassion.
BTW: How do you get your pic big instead of the thumbnail?
Good Question Kristy of the past, allow me to enlighten you and the other people having the same problem in the awesome picture thread.
This is super, super fast and easy..it will only take a second.
Thank you future Kristy, I don't know what I would do without you! You're the best!
Sincere regards
Kristy of the past.
I can't be the only one who is dismayed at not seeing this image.
Though I do have the problem when I'm on the toilet for extended periods of time...
You been gone a while. Guess it took Kristy's ass to get you back here.
Relax Mole. It's all very Shakespearean . . . namely, Much Ado about Nothing.
Which, apropos of nothing, was a damn fine play . . .
Well to be honest I have a google app that scans all my favorite website for the word "ass", "strap-on", "stripper" and "midget prostitute"
That's what led me back here since I haven't played serious poker in a year or so :P
Is Drummondville really that boring?
