Hi, I'm 17 and new here. I have a slight curve on my back but it usually doesn't bother me. But I just got my very first summer job a couple days ago and on my first day I worked five hours and had to stand up for the entire time. I don't know if anyone else gets back pains from standing too long but I get terrible pains and it was extremely hard to get through the day with the same energy and enthusiasm as I should on my job. I don't think I can keep up with the pain the entire summer.
What do I do? Should I tell my boss? I'm worried he might fire me or look down on me because employees are not supposed to be sitting down at all during their shifts. I thought about taking pain killers before work but that can't be healthy to do so frequently, can it? I don't know what to do and I'm scared. Please give me advice, has anyone had this problem with a job? Is there a way to relieve the pain?
