A couple of months ago, I started to develop some lower back problems with no apparent reason. Every Monday when I went to work, my lower back would gradually worsen throughout the day, and by Friday afternoon, it was difficult to find a comfortable position. Over the weekend, my back would slowly improve, but as soon as the new week began, the discomfort returned. It turned out it was the medical stool I was sitting on. After I replaced the cushion of the chair, my lower back pain was gone.
