Spinal stenosis, back, hip & leg issues: A good office chair?

@grandmar I’ve come to realize that most of us are not normal! It really seems as if most people do not fit the typical with symptoms. I guess that’s why doctors have “practices”.
I’m glad to hear though that things are generally going better. I hope the vascular doctor is reassuring.

@contentandwell -- Thanks for the laugh JK! Medicine is a science, but a lot of it is based on luck and experience on the part of both the doctor and patient! Sometimes, we stay well, or regain our health, "in spite of" what the doctors got wrong! Just as an example, I was overdosed by an anesthesiologist (40 yrs ago), who gave me twice as much as he thought he was ... and 10 months ago, another anesthesiologist "accidentally" injected the right phrenic nerve and paralyzed my right diaphragm. I was to have surgery on my wrist ... I survived both experiences, luckily!

You are very funny!
I don't know if it's that most of us are not normal or that most of us are just individuals.
We are all different from top to bottom.
Like any kind of learning, we learn what is true for the majority.
I cannot imagine what it must be like to then have to learn about all the individual differences.
Guess why docs get the big bucks.
My neurosurgeon says he gets one patient each year who has 'typical' symptoms but are not 'typical.'
I am this year's winner!
