Struggling to properly set up my new ergonomic desk setup. Any practical advice for this lower back issue?
Hey everyone, I just found out our sub due to a friend's recommendation. Really hope i can get some realistic advice or sharing here cause im so lost rn
I have been WFH for a few years now and I never paid any attention to my posture. I used to work from the couch, my bed etc just basically everywhere i can work. I started getting this awful lower back pain recently, went to the doctor and getting diagnosed with L1 degenerative disc disease. Stuck with it for life
Def a massive wake up call for me so i decided to invest in on a proper ergonomic desk setup. Bought a standing desk and a highly rec ergo chair and spent my only day off to put everything together
I simply assumed that id be better but turns out it doesn't work that way at all. Having to figure out the right heights, desk levels and angles is incredibly overwhelming. Every online guide makes the rules sound so complicated, and half of them just... trying to force me to buy even more accessories?!!
So rlly wonder how do you guys actually set up your desk to be more ergonomic or friendlier for back pain? Any tips on how you sit to make sure it doesn't cause more pain throughout the day? Appreciate and open to any advice you can share.
