Age 50+ OTers with Jobs that Require Standing

Whether you be plant baws, Security, LE, Retail, Restaurant, etc., my hat is off to you. I just returned from an 8 day world wind vaca that required a lot of standing (museums, etc.). My back, neck, hip, legs were all screaming, even though I walked less miles than I normally do in a day. Standing is much harder than walking, but i did discover that 800mg of ibuprofen helps a lot.
I salute you baws that stand all day.

Lose some weight and get more active. That should not be an issue unless you’re unhealthy.

50 isn’t that old. Sad

Get fitted for a scooter.

Damn boy, you may need to change your lifestyle . I’m 58 and stand 80% of the day for work. I walk 1-2.5 miles a day briskly for my job as well.

How big a baw are you?

I work a "desk job" and stand (by choice) most of my day.
I only sit when I'm in conference room meetings.
Get your life together, man.

They are actually active and don’t have lower back pain and thus do stuff on the weekends instead of post here.

shoes can affect this too. Might be time for some insoles.

I used to stand all day in my old job. It's much harder than walking all day. But, you do get used to it.

Standing is harder than moving. I’m a poll worker and the last election we never got a break. Had to stand for 12+ hours with only a 30 minute break. My back was killing me.

My back hurts worse if I sit too long.
I'm much better off moving around more than less

It’s too late now but Hoka Bondi 8’s would have likely helped a lot
