I don't know specifics about this injury, but I can say that a chair is in
my opinion the most important investment in deskside health (which need not
be expensive - I assembled mine from Ikea for I think $65, though you can
spend many hundreds on an office chair). Make sure it has enough padding on
the seat cushion, and that it extends to near your knees instead of stopping
at the thighs - sounds trivial, but after a few hours, insufficient
padding/support for thighs can be painful. Also, of course, stand up, walk
around, get your blood flowing on a regular basis throughout the day. That
helps the brain, too! :)
