Swapped to a standing desk for 3 weeks and my back pain got worse before it got better

After 2 years of sitting all day, I got a cheap standing desk from Amazon and lasted about 4 hours day one. My lower back hurt so bad I almost quit, but on day 5 the pain just vanished. Anyone else hit that weird wall with standing setups?

Did you have to take breaks or push through the pain like that?

Wait wait wait, you just pushed through the pain? Like, it wasn't a little uncomfortable, you just kept going? I honestly can't even imagine doing that, I would have tapped out so fast. I mean, maybe it's just me but if something hurt that badly I'd be looking for a way to stop immediately. Did you not worry about making it worse or something? idk, that just sounds wild to me.
