A member asked:
I can not sit for a long time because i often suffer from low back pain. i can only sit in the last 45 minutes. why it happen?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
LBP with sitting: Sitting actually puts more stress on your back mechanically than either lying or standing. It is common for people with mechanical disk pain to have pain with sitting as opposed to herniated disk patients who feel better sitting with knees flexed.

Yes: When sitting the nerves can get pinched from herniated discs and result in the numbness. If it bothers you especially with pain and not just the numbness, you may want to see a spine specialist to see if there is anything that can be done. Numbness in those positions probably only need core strengthening exercise therapy.
