I'm not sure how common it is but I can only stand still for about 5 minutes.

I can’t stand more then 5-10min before I get very weak and hurting.

The only suggestion I ever get is 'well then sit down' not always helpful 😉

Thank you, it's good to not feel alone. 💕

Difficult and painful to stand in one place for more than five to ten minutes. Always shifting around in hopes to improve situation but must really start to walk a bit or sit down to get relief.

My back hurts after shopping and walking a while.

Yes, and also when Inlay on back my legs lose feeling.

I have the same issues! It is yet another thing that most prone don’t understand. They see me walk fairly quickly sometimes and then others. I collapse our limp significantly. It’s frustrating.

I can relate

Any lumbar, lower back pain, or neuropathy history?

I have both

TurtleRose...it is an awful thing to go through. Does the weather where you live effect your body?

Tookie, yes the weather affects me. I live in Maine. Winters are long and painful for me. Spring can also be bc of the rain

If I stand in place for even 5 minutes, I’m in excruciating pain. I have to move around and shift my weight from leg to leg constantly. Then when I finally get a chance to sit, my entire spine hurts so badly I can’t bend it at all. I used to work retail and we weren’t allowed to sit for the full shift (aside from breaks). I’d usually be upstairs in my shop overlooking customers in that area. It was horrible to constantly have to be moving in order to not hurt. People told my manager they thought I was on drugs because I was so “fidgety” as they put it, but in reality I was just trying to avoid hurting!!! Needless to say, I didn’t last very long at that store haha

Sorry you didn't last long there Willow but they didn't deserve you...

It’s ok. It happens. Thank you <3 but have you looked into knee braces as well? Those things add some stability when your legs feel like that standing for too long :)

I experience this as well. I always worry that it’s “just in my head” or I’m overdramatizing it, but it’s nice to know I’m not alone.
