Can sitting in the wrong position cause damage to your legs when you are older?!


Question: i used to be obsessed with a show called death note, but now all i do is act exactly like ryuzaki. hes the main character. and the main character always sits with his knees up in a chair and his back arched over, and walks with his knees bent and back hunched over just a little bit. i have been sitting like this everytime i sit down anywhere, but my friend told me if i continue to do it my legs will be damaged when i am older. is that true?

Two things you want to be careful of:
1. Joint/spine injury due to bad posture. Yes, this could give you arthritis, any number of muscle injuries, back problems, hip/knee pain, etc
2. Blood clots...some positions don't allow for good circulation. I'm having trouble picturing what you described, but make sure you're allowing for good circulation.

yes and your legs will be stiff or sore a little while later I know from experience because i sit on my legs.

Yeah, it will probably do harm to your joints. Arthritis will kick in on full when you get older.

Plus, you might want to stop hunching over. 'Tis not attractive.

yes. but i really cant picture what you're saying? is it an ape-like position?
