Change Something: Look into your work ergonomics, check your shoes, and your posture. Try to stretch and see your doctor if your problems persist.

Many things: This is difficult as most all of us get back pain from too much standing especially on hard surfaces. Try different types of shoes and do not wear high heels or flip flops. Try to change positions and move more if possible. Stretch your calves, hips and back regularly.
