Knee strain with office chair
I got an office chair for working from home. Recently I've started feeling strain in my knees whenever I sit on it, even though I've adjusted it as low as possible (refer image). I've had mild knee pain in the past when I used to run.
What could be the reason - the chair position or some underlying condition, or both? I tested negative for arthritis a few months back.

The knee pain can be due to the curvature at the end of the seat of the chair which might be compressing your nerves in the back side of the knee.
Next Steps
If you had knee pain before and it has still not resolved then other causes need to be evaluated like acl tear, meniscus injury etc.
Health Tips
Get a proper consult for further evaluation.

The picture you sent should be showing how your typical posture would be
Try having a pillow at your back and also use a foot support which raises your leg position also which could ease your pain

Try taking breaks in between work and try to walk for a while
