I couldn't sit without pain. So I built the fix.
How six years of a bad back turned into Sitvana. My real scans and reports, personal details removed.
herniated disc
-
2019
The first MRI.
Right-side back pain and sciatica down my leg. The scan gave it a name.
“Moderately large” herniation at L4–L5, compressing the nerve root.
-
2020
Still there.
A follow-up a year later. One word on the report: “persistent.” These two discs decided how long I could sit.
-
2025
Worse, not better.
Six years in, the disc had degenerated further.
“Slight progression” of the L4–L5 herniation.

Then
The operating room.
Eventually, pushing through it stopped being an option.
The hospital
From problem to product.
Every cushion I bought failed the same way: comfortable for ten minutes, then flat, and the pain came right back.
So I stopped shopping and started building. Firm, ergonomic support that holds its shape and goes everywhere with you. That's Sitvana.
