Sucks to hear about all this gents, I still haven't made the change from sitting to standing desk and I think it will do wonders for me. I have increased the hell out of my mobility/exercising, still not extreme but enough to relieve the stress on my joints. I'll try to help with things I'm doing and maybe you guys can…
