Does Anyone Get Hip/back Flare Ups When You're Sitting In A Car For Too Long?
Last year i went on a road trip with my family and after sitting in the car for hours at a time I suffered a sever flare in my hips and lower back. We had regular toilet breaks and opportunities to stretch our legs, I tried to get as much leg room as possible but nothing seemed to work and the pain got worse as the trip went on. I'm about to go on another trip and was wondering if anyone had any advice for what to do or how to prevent the pain....?
Also I don't drive very far myself these days… read more
Yes, this is a constant for me now. I got one of those chair pads for a broken tailbone or sciatic. I use it on my car seat now when I drive or am a passenger. I does help some.

I had a heated vibrating seat cushion( it is one that covers back as Well as buttocks)

You may have osteoarthritis. I've found that I hurt more with it than fibro. Prednisone helps with inflammation.
I use a TENs machine for long journeys, this has really helped me,with out it I just would not be able to go. Also use it for cinema has helped to give me back some of my social life.
