I've been standing for about 10 weeks now and it was quite hard in the first couple of weeks. I the other day a colleague mentioned that I was practically standing all day without taking good short sit down breaks. To tell you the truth it feels normal. Just like sitting and working did. I'm quite overweight but I have not the slightest in back pain. Absolutely none. I did get an anti fatigue mat on the recommendation of another contributer here and it made a world of difference.
My standing desk is just a couple of extended monitor raising stands currently, but the company has already suggested getting me a proper standing desk. I haven't agreed to it yet as I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it and that it would be just if not more productive to stand. All in all I thoroughly recommend it to everyone.
