Hi Puma, welcome to the forum.... sorry you need to be here.

I've had several clients who've used standing workstations for years as that setup provided them with the most productive environment. With my lumbar problems, standing still was worse for me than sitting. The best kind of work day is sit a little, walk a little, stand very little, walk, sit, stand, repeat. Hopefully you'll find a system that works for you. Note that you may present a moving target and what was best yesterday might not be the best today.

Spine surgery is something that is very good NOT to have.... I'd listen to the conservative voices that recommend ergonomic changes, therapy, strengthening, core, flexibility, weight loss, etc.... (how is that for a buzzword salad?)

Good luck... please keep us posted,

Mark
