Brief Answer:
Your one hours upright are possible responsible for this!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your job is most likely a contributing factor to this pain. This pain is certainly a muscle strain related to the long standing positions at work. Is it possible to interspace these long periods of standing with some rest in a seated and more relaxed position? That to me is indispensable. In addition, tylenol and regular physical exercises will help. Tylenol, when in pains will help.
Long term management is a review of your job and position to avoid extra long hours and strenuous positions on the back muscles, resulting in this pain.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
