Working conditions irritating my Prostatitis?

[A50]

I operate heavy equipment for a living. For the last 10 months, I've driving a stand-up forklift. I've had prostatitis for the last 4 months. I'm wondering if the continious vibration might be me irritating my conditon?

It sounds logical. I'm sure the vibration and hard seat make things worse. You may want to contact a doctor and ask about exercises you can do, in addition to supplements.

Is this the main responsibility you have at work, or can they have you do something different? I know that a lot of computer programmers end up with CPPS, so there is no coincidence there.

Yes, that is my primary job. Due to being in the Union and the senority issue, I'm not able to switch to a different work assignment. My first symptoms of prostatitis appeared at work while operating my machinery.
