Members overwhelmingly confirmed experiencing the frustrating buttock pain when sitting that comes with fibromyalgia, with many describing constant discomfort, restlessness, and the need to frequently shift positions or stand up from desk work. Several members shared practical strategies that have brought them relief, including using gel cushions or memory foam pads, limiting sitting to ten-minute intervals, gentle daily stretching focused on the glutes and hamstrings, heat therapy, and medications like Neurontin or Cymbalta. A recurring theme was the importance of muscle retraining through stretching and posture awareness, as fibromyalgia causes muscles to function improperly, and members emphasized listening to their bodies by alternating between sitting, standing, and lying down throughout the day.

I had this and still get it but to a lesser degree I stretch in the morning concentrating on then glutes as they are the major muscle for walking,bending and sitting etc
So by gently stretching and incorporating stretches to ur hamstrings it will alleviate some off the discomfort when mine is bad I’ll strech before I sit and be mindful of how I am
Standing posture and bending still getting that stretch in its all about rehab strength conditioning as the muscles with fibro are confused and do not function as they are suppose to thus creating pain so retraining the muscles to think and behave differently will ease a lot of pain hope all goes well

Yes so basically I don't sit. I stand, walk or lye down. When I sit I have a memory foam cushion and only for ten minutes at a time

What is a flyer machine ?
I was thinking it might not be related to Fibromyalgia but seems it is as you suffer with it to .,

yes, and I even use a gel pad, the only relief is using my flyer machine for stretching. 20 min every other day and now take Neurontin when needed with other issue too. Cymbalta help but some days like winters and rain kills me
