Default re standing workstation

I have retired due to my back (early) though at my last job I had a modified standing work station (had a seat at the cubicle should I want to to sit) and put a thick mat on the floor and stood barefoot at it while working at my computer station and on the phone (Advice Nurse/Telephone Triage) for up to 8 hours.

At the time I was doing this I had an annular tear at L3, a failed discectomy at L4 with rebulging disc, a rebulge of a discectomy at L5S1 and I just couldn't tolerate sitting hardly at all so this was the only manner I could work with exception of a laptop perched in a certain manner while semi reclining in bed (working from home).

Wishing you the best with however you work it out as best you're able. If your work allows a modified workstation and you can handle it or it suits your purpose ~ go for it!

Take care and good luck with all~ Maria
