Something as minute as sitting on a pillow can cause pain

[Mr. Ed]

For the past few weeks I have sat on pillow while sitting on a couch, and for the past few weeks I developed severe pain in my hip and left kneecap. All because of sitting on a pillow. Did some stretching exercises this morning causing the pain to subside. Naproxen Sodium and Cyclobenzaprine helps.

Maybe it’s the wrong kind of pillow?

How about not sitting on a pillow?

That's me. I often say I have the Princess and the Pea syndrome, but in my case it's mushy peas.

I have an assortment of pillows available if we watch tv, depending on the given day, what I need to just not be too uncomfortable changes.

Posture isn't just for fashion models, incorrect body position will cause pain.

Yeah, we have a settee that does not have good underpinnings. I get mild hip pain from sitting on the right side of the long cushion because of it messes up the position of my body. Right now, I'm considering how to improve its foundation. It's on a screened porch that has only uncomfortable places to sit. There are solutions galore, I realize that, so not a big problem! It's fun for me to figure out how to fix something than to replace it.

I like office chairs at the high setting, maybe a good couch pillow, then the
thing that is designed to be sat on on top of a pillow. For posture.
