Finding a comfortable chair

My husband has mesothelioma and suffers from pain in his back and left side.We're having difficuly finding a comfortable chair for him to sit in while watching TV, etc. He's tried every chair in the house to no avail. Has anyone else experienced problems trying to get comfortable while sitting and do you have any suggestions?

 Thanks,

Cris

My mom has bad bulging discs in her back and even though it is not the same thing as your husband, I found a gel pad at the local chiropractor's office that has worked wonders.  She can sit on that thing for hours and not have any pressure on that area which causes excruiating pain.  Yesterday, for whatever reason, she did not and she was miserable by the night. 

As for comfortable places, has he tried just laying on the sofa instead of sitting?  It's so hard seeing our loved ones with so much discomfort.  I hope you will have some luck in finding some answers.

From one Cris to another...God bless ~
