See below: Here are some suggestions: take frequent breaks and stretch your legs. Buy special orthotic pads for the inside of your shoes. Get a floor pad to stand on that is a little soft and so relieves the pain in your back by reducing strain but not too soft that your stance is unstable. Ask your doctor or a physical (or occupational) therapist about where to get it.

Orthotics: Orthotics, or more correctly orthosis are arch supports or insoles. You can start with an over the counter device and see if that helps. Look for a material that is well cushioned for shock absorption and one that meets the contour or shape of your foot. If you have flatfeet, ideally you would want to support that flatness and raise it if possible to an average height. (if it is flexible.).
