This is worthy of a more authoritative evaluation, I'm inviting Michael Pollan to join this discussion. He knows the hideous effects of korn better than anyone on the planet.

I skipped over it, so the numbers still work out.

Hey Rose... I sit on the exercise balls sometimes when I'm working from home.  It is actually pretty cool in that it keeps you on your toes, and makes life/work more interesting! 

It is good for your core muscles.  I just don't see myself doing it in a public/office setting.  I'd be made fun of.    I think Security might ask me to leave, too, if I tried to bring it in the front door.

I sprained my back 4 years ago and during the rehab process it was a Godsend. Now that I'm past most of that  I just use it if I'm stiff or sore after a workout or yardwork or such. It takes pressure off the lower back and  acts like a shock absorber .
     Posture  wise it's excellent  since you can inflate  it to whatever height you want and the constant movement really strengthens  a lot of little muscles.

That computer needs an upgrade!

Definitely, since I go barefoot most of the time, but I keep the ol bokes covered. The toe has  a little bit more of a topsoil layer as a result. The bokes might have more nutrients though. I guess I just don't really know. Dammit Jim- I'm a derelict, not a botanist!

Anyway, I realized earlier that since I haven't been exercising much the last month, I haven't been sore or tight and thusforwhichandsuch  haven't been sitting on  my exercise ball at all, just crosslegged in the chair in the nice comfy(well, except for  the toe) crosslegged position.

    Therein lies the problem.

If you've seen FOOD Inc. you know that you should be boycotting CORN (in all forms)

don't you hate when he shows up!

Shoes or no, I say Jrzy's right. Something's putting constant pressure on that spot and the corn is the response to that. Usually it's shoes but it sure can be just the way you always sit. Jam some cotton or something between the toes and see if it feels better.

I've got an ergonomic computer chair that I took the arms off of, and it's only about 20" wide, so my knees don't touch anything.
