fyroc58607yI have a bad knee from when I was overseas. When I was in an office environment I would need to take a ton of walks or it would lock up and be in a ton of pain. Also, when it rained I have to put a heat or ice pack on it depending on which it required at that moment.
Some people get injured... I'm sure if anything it's just a small part of your work characteristics. -
SSDD47607yI googled your "hip stretch" thing and if someone was doing that in the middle of my office I wouldn't think they were weird, I'd just think they were an attention whore.

@SSDD I could see that, but my office is tucked away within another office, so I'm not doing it right in the middle of a bunch of other people

EladMatia17I programmed. I broke my E on the keyboard. I can't program anymore. I am sad.
I'm fairly certain my boss'.....boss (didn't want to count them.. it's high up the chain, and slightly lateral) thinks I'm incredibly weird. I have too many sports injuries to be fully functional and they all flare up while I'm sitting at my desk. To offset this, I stand up or walk around while on the phone, and occasionally stretch.
These stretches are for hip and it band, usually, which are a bit more involved, so of course he ONLY fucking walks into the damn office while I'm stretching. (Image search for hip stretch).
To top it off, I have an unfortunate colored ointment for the pain in my elbow that i was applying today while stretching, and im scared to know what he was thinking before he realized what was actually going on. Imagine hip stretching (this one with leg on desk) while rubbing milky sort of clear ointment into skin...
Sir, if you're reading this, I promise I'm not actually that weird at work, you just have shitty timing.
