After 15 years practicing dental hygiene, another 15 years sewing, often 8-10 hours (own business), and 15 years running 5 miles, I ended up with ischial bursitis. At first it was unilateral, then later bilateral.Insufficient fat to cushion the bottom margin of my pelvis caused excrutiating pain, whenever I sat longer than 35 minutes, and unless I stand, heightened pain begins to shoot down the entire length of my legs. Worse still, I practice piano several hours a day, and have experimented with ALL types of cushions, including the memory foam type. If we're eating out on unupholstered chairs, I gerally need to finish my meal standing, which I'm sure appears rudely inconsiderate.In addition to my yearly physical, I went to an orthopedic surgery group, who found no pathology, a physical therapist, that couldn't help, and next, (albeit ignorantly and desperate for relief), a chiropractor for six months--who made zero difference. I even bought the best rated inversion bed, to hang upsidedown, hoping to relieve the pressure on my lower pelvis. The latter is great for back pain, (skip the chiropractor altogether!), which I occasionally have, but doesn't do anything for hip pain. I've endured long flights, where my pain leaves me nauseated and shaking.The ONLY way, at 57 yo I can take a long plane or car trip, (which is at least 3-4 times a year), requires prescribed opiate pain killers, causing other unpleasant side effects.My father saw the cushion in an H.S. catalog, and I jumped to order one. It arrived promptly in two or three days, (though I don't really remember), except that I love, love, love it!!!I can actually play piano for three to four hours without bottoming out (I'm 5'6" and 128 lbs.), and that's with only the TDPR cushion--no extra layers. Further, it doesn't slide around, but stays in place perfectly wherever I'm sitting. For the first time in 12 years, I'm pain free, and will probably take it with me on my next trip to CA. And in fact, I may have to buy a second one.It's unbelieveably well made, with a removeable, washable cover,(as a seamstress, I've filled over 24,000 orders and considered #1, nationwide, for the product I sew). I like too, that it's black, so it's not an eyesore on my ebony piano bench...and now I'm no longer rearend sore. When I have orders to fill, I move it into my sewing room and use it atop my expensive, support, unholstered office chair. Works like a dream. If you have any lowever hip pain, at around [$], this is the best product around. Don't even hesitate. Just go order it.
