Heard a guy at the library say his standing desk changed his back pain in 3 days

I overheard this older dude talking to the librarian about how he finally got a standing desk after 10 years of hunching. Said his lower back felt better by day three and he couldn't believe he waited so long for just $150. Anybody else notice a big difference that quick with a standing setup?

Standing desks are a gimmick for most people. 3 days is barely enough time for a placebo to wear off, let alone fix a decade of bad posture.

He said his lower back felt better by day three" and that's honestly not that wild to me. When you finally stop sitting all day the pressure shifts off your spine almost immediately, I had a similar quick relief with mine. The $150 range desks work fine too, you don't need some super expensive motorized setup to get the benefit.

Did you get the same back relief just from switching or did you also tweak your chair setup at the same time?
