Probable nerve damage after one month

I bought this and I love it. The assembly was initially relatively easy. It looks sturdy, like it's of decent quality (not high-end, but not low-end either). He had a small defect. Part of the seat cover reveals the cushion underneath. But that's a very minor aesthetic issue that doesn't bother me - after all, I bought it for the wobble, not the looks. So for about a month I liked this stool. I liked rocking back and forth just because it's fun. And my back pain is gone too! But after a month I will replace it. Why? It is likely to cause nerve damage. At first I noticed that my legs would get numb very quickly when I sat on the toilet. Then I started to feel the sensitivity of my nerves even when sitting in a nicely upholstered chair. Then I started feeling this nervousness as I lay in bed. I felt them least in the morning. And in the afternoon, after sitting on a stool all day, I felt it the most. I could feel the sensitivity of the nerves running from my buttocks through my inner thighs to my big toes. Why? "I use this active stool for my work. So I sit in it all day, 5 days a week. And the whole point of the active chair is that it rolls around like a little wobbler, right? But that is the cause of nerve damage. You see, when you sit up straight in a regular chair, your entire butt and thighs are spread out on a wide, flat pillow. Excellent. When you lean forward or backward in an active chair, only a slight curve of your buttocks or thighs is distributed along the narrow edge of the seat. When leaning down/forward in an active chair, place all of your weight on the slight curve of your buttocks at the narrow back edge of the cushion. When leaning up/back on an active stool, place your entire weight on the narrow front edge of the cushion with the backs of your thighs. Sit down to full work day after day for a month and you'll start to feel your nerves. I suspect that this could lead to long-term nerve damage. Even as I write this review, standing at my desk, I can feel nerves running from my left buttock through the back of my left thigh and into my thumb. It doesn't hurt, just tender, like "tense". Therefore, I exchange this chair with a heavy heart. I'd like to keep it, but I'm not sacrificing my health. I've looked at saddle stools before, but I've seen other ergonomic issues with them (it gets a lot of weight, especially for men like me). their speakers). So I have normal bowel movements. My advice? Stay away from an active chair if you intend to sit in it for an extended period of time. They're fun to sit on for short periods of time, but they won't replace your office chair. table too. This would be a nice feature, although I understand it will be difficult to design and implement and will likely incur higher material and shipping costs. I'm only mentioning this review so the RevainBasic team can review it. .)
