A member asked:
Could prolonged standing cause leg and back pain/spasms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back pain: Yes. Impingement of lumbar nerve roots from bone spurs, ligament overgrowth, and herniated discs can cause radiating leg pain with prolonged standing. Gravity contributes to narrowing where the nerve root exits from the spinal canal.
