Back Pain

[PainfulMKX]

Just purchased a 2010 MKX & afraid we made a HUGE mistake. I have fibromyalgia & lumbar support was my number one consideration in finding the right vehicle. Truly thought we had finally found a suitable replacement (for Buick Rendezvous with lumbar support on both driver & passenger sides). Maybe the problem is that the MKX has leather & it's too stiff rather than plush. First day after purchase, rode in passenger seat approx. 40 miles to meet our kids for Father's Day dinner & 40 mi. back home again with no problems. Second day after purchase, drove just a few miles to fun errands & came home with my upper back killing me. I tried repeatedly while I was out to adjust the seat so it would be just right. Has anyone else experienced this?

Be careful how far you pump the lumbar support, that could cause discomfort, too much of a good thing. I have cloth seats in my Edge that are very comfy and I am prone to terrible low back pain. The leather seats should break in and mold to you soon I would think. The Edge I test drove had leather and it was not sink in comfy like my cloth.
