why is it painful to be on your feet for extended periods of time? Is weight a big factor?

1.22K views

I’ve been working at McDonald’s for almost 9 months now, and any shifts longer than 4 hours, my feet start to hurt.

I am overweight, Last time I checked it was 230lbs. But I have heard of similar complaints from coworkers and people online.

Is it the case of too much of a good thing? (Being active and about)

Depends heavily on your body.

If it functions properly and every muscle does its supposed job and your joints have the necessary mobility standing for such a long time should be easy after 9 months of practice.

If your body is disfunctional you will feel pain because some muscles/joints don’t do their job anymore which means that other muscles/joints have to do extra work they are originally not supposed to do.
