I am frustrated to tears. I have tried and tried to make my desk chair comfortable, or at least bearable. The muscles of my upper legs are hair-trigger. Can't wear tight slacks, can't sit on wooden chairs, etc.

I have spent money on egg crate foam and various wheel chair cushions. I've jury-rigged things together, tried folded blankets, tried sitting on the edge of the chair, tried a foot stool--NOTHING WORKS!!

I've been looking for a gel pad, thinking a thin one on top of a cushion might help. I finally found one that was maybe 1-1.5" thick, but it was $300! I don't think so!

Does anybody have similar problems? What have you tried?
