I hurt my ankle at work a few weeks ago so I was advised to stay off my feet as much as possible..after awhile I was assigned office duties for 2 weeks while my foot healed... in the meantime i've developed really bad tainbone pain because I've been sitting down for hours a day ... its gotten really bad and the worst part is i'm scheduled to go back to my regular duties since my ankle has healed but now I have this excruciating back pain... I've had it before but its more persistent this time
