Hi
Good luck with your new job. Do your supervisors know how you are suffering? They might adjust your hours at your desk so that you can move around every so often. If you continue to struggle they might suggest part time, I'm not 100%on that one as every company is different. Please take care of yourself Lynne. You could also show your boss this forum. Do you hurt anywhere else? Xxxx
Hi there and thanks for the reply, actually for getting the job i need to be healthy, so it is better for me that my boss not to know about my condition, and it is the second day and symptoms are getting worse i just hope dont lose the new job, also thatnks for your reply again 
Hope you're doing well in your new job, have you tried asking for a standing desk. It would help to move around or if you can't get one of those, put your timer on for every half hour or so to remind you to move and stretch. Stretching and exercise have helped me with my chronic back pain. Good luck and I hope this works for you.
yes it will thanks for the reply
I used to work in front of a screen for hours. If you can raise it to eye level so your head is level and not bent forward that will help. Raise your chair so your knees are lower than your hips, this encourages your lumbar area to stay curved not flat. If you can't raise your chair, perch on the edge and lower your knees.
And finally as has been advised already, take regular breaks stretch and move around.
I agree with Joeskid about the screen at eye level this helps a lot, also stand up every 20 minutes or so. However I found if the knees are lower than your hips it increases the pain. I was told by my Alexander technique lady that for optimum feeling it is best that the knees are level with the hips, not higher and not lower and she is right in my case and never perch at the edge of your chair as that puts additional pressure on your sciatic nerve where the legs go down.
I suggest you bring a chair cushion to sit on. Also some people find it helpful to use a lumbar cushion.
Have you tried those cushions for sciatica pains Or if standing isn’t and issue one of the desk top things that can raise and lower so you can sit or stand.
Kasra:
Chronic sciatica usually involves hip pain caused by essentially the same muscles. I have had lower back/hip pain for the last 50 years, and as I get older (I'm 75) and my muscles get weaker the pain is more prevalent.
After 28 years of seeing chiropractors, in 2008, I started using "Trigger Point Therapy". Trigger points develop when muscles get fatigued (weak) and form a "knot" in the affected muscle that pulls on its tendons, pulling the bones out of their normal healthy positions and causing pain. This pain is sometimes incorrectly diagnosed as arthritis and even fibromyalgia and is the main cause of gout pain (I know, I have gout).
The glutius-medius and glutius-minimus muscles typically cause lower back (sacroiliac) pain. The muscles typically involved with hip pain are the pectineus, adductors-longus, adductors-brevis, and tensor fasciae lathe muscles may also contribute to lower back pain.
To remove the trigger points in these muscles you need to get the "Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, 3rd addition" to show you where to find these trigger points and deal with them. This can be found on line or at the following link:
amazon.com/Trigger-Point-Th...
This therapy has resolved my lower back and hip problems (and even gout attacks) when applied multiple times daily until the pain is gone. Unfortunately, due to unhealthy daily habits, these trigger points come back and need to be removed, but once you know what to do it is resolved quickly.
I hope that this helps,
Dean
yes, that will help, thanks for the reply
I take it you are from the UK, if you are under the Health+Safety at work act your employer is obliged to make ''reasonable adjustments'' to your workplace so that you can carry on working. If you are in a Trade Union their Union Rep will help you out on this. If you are not in a Trade Union then you need to approach your employer yourself...…………..my advice is to all working people ''Join a Union''.
