Switched to a standing desk at home and my back hurts more now

I got one of those adjustable ones from Amazon last month, tried standing for 3 hours a day, and ended up with worse lower back pain than sitting ever gave me. Has anyone else had their body just reject the standing desk trend?

Same here, mine just made everything ache worse" - oh man, that hit close to home. I had one that actually made my shoulder feel like it was being stabbed every time I tried to use it. What helped me was switching to a massage gun with adjustable speed settings, not just constant vibration. I started using it on the lowest setting for only 30 seconds at a time and that made a huge difference. Have you tried just running it over the area without pressing down hard at all?
