Question Occupational injuries

Hi all,
I've been flying for a couple of years, during which time I have amassed a whooping 200 hours, all R22. Recently I've started to have leg problems which may or may not be associated with the
R22s extremely comfortable 'Lazyboy' like seating.

This type of thing has to be common among helicopter pilots. Do any of you guys and gals suffer needlessly at the hands of not so comfy heli design, or just what sitting in one restricted posture for hours on end will do to the body?

Note: Absence of drink holder in cockpit does not constitute an occupational hazard.
