Bad chair=bad circulation?!

Hi,

Simple question: could sitting on the edge of a chair, every day, for several hours a day (like 3) hurt the circulation in your legs and somehow affect your EQ?

Not 8 hours a day in an office 5 days a week, but 3-4 hours a day, with the more rigid part of the chair running right under your legs and butt.

Highly doubtful. You would have to be rather thin before the blood vessels were pinched. And then being thin, you would be lighter and there would be less pressure than normal on your body. Normally there is plenty of flesh there and would spread the weight over a large area.

Why do you want to sit on the edge of the chair. I thought people only did that when watching murder mysteries :)

Yes.

Whenever I sit on hard plastic chairs or wooden bench’s commonly found in parks and stadiums, my legs get pins and needles and begin to feel heavy. That’s after only 15 minutes.

A padded chair? Doubtful but possible.

Are you fat or tall?

I think it certainly could, but if it was, I would also think you would be feeling a lot of discomfort that would cause you to shift position. I know when riding my bike, that after 10 or 15 minutes I have to stand for a bit to restore circulation.

In general, you have to watch for sitting for long periods of time as circulation can be reduced leading to blood clots and those ain’t good for you. You have probably heard all of this in conjunction with long periods of sitting on long airplane flights.

Compression of certain nerves in my leg do me dirty when I am shitting for a long time. I actually had a vascular surgeon explain that to me around July when I had to go see him. The toilet sits too low for me as well. On long drives it is near impossible to walk let alone drive with my situation.
