Hi XXXX,
Thanks for giving a nice positive review and five star rating.

This is the nature of symptoms in radiculopathy that they are worse in some specific postures.
So,when sitting or lying in particular positions,your nerve radicles are getting irritated more or compressed more,thus resulting in exacerbation of symptoms.
