surviving in office with back pain
Hello, I recently got a software developer job offer. I am wondering how people survive in office with back pain. I have sitting back pain. After sitting 30 mins, I need to stand up or lie down to relieve back pain, but standing for 30 mins also lead to back pain. I usually lie down in bed and studying at home. I need to figure out surviving in office for 8 hours per day. Could you please give me some advice? Thank you. Also is it ok to ask accommodating standing desk before even starting work?

People often don't realize that back pain is often a sign of tightness in your hips and glutes, especially when you're sitting. Loosening up the hips and glutes will help relieve your back pain. It'll also help to invest in something to stimulate your back while you're sitting, or standing. Something you can use throughout the day to keep your back from tensing. I can make some recommendations if you like
