Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, prolonged standing can worsen osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is reduced joint space due to reduction in synovial fluid. Physiotherapy, weight reduction, calcium and vitamin d 3 supplements are conservative treatment of osteoarthritis. If conservative treatment is failed then joint replacement is the only option. So better to consult orthopedic doctor and discuss about need of joint replacement surgery.

Hope I have answered your query.
