Does standing cause leg cramps?

Patient's question:

Recently, I need to work at a bank, standing for 8 hours every day. When I come home at night, my legs hurt a lot and I have cramps. What kind of help do I need: What are the bad effects of standing for long periods of time on the body? How can leg pain and cramps be relieved?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition is due to prolonged standing, which leads to poor local blood circulation. Standing for long periods is very harmful to the body's blood circulation, so during training, you should engage in more movement and avoid maintaining the same posture for extended periods. Additionally, soaking your feet in hot water every night can also improve lower limb blood circulation.
The long-term dangers of standing include many issues, such as localized lumbar muscle strain, lumbar spondylosis, and more.
