With a standing desk, you have to be very careful in not being stationary. Standing in the same position for an hour is not great for your back at all, but the goal of a standing desk is to constantly move a little bit and relax your back muscles. Ideally, you want some sort of standing desk pad that forces you to subconsciously constantly move.
I tried a standing desk and it made my back pain a lot worse.

Yeah, extremely cheesy way of putting it: The best work position is the next one.
I.e. don’t stay in one position for a long time, but rather switch it up regularly.
