I hope that your knee heals.

I'm gently curious about the people trying standing desks: this article mentions research on the dangers of sitting, but it doesn't mention any research on standing. Since many people are expected to stand all day at work I'd have thought there would be some research about standing.

Have people looked at that? How about investigating some of the products meant to counteract problems caused by standing all day (such as anti-fatigue matting).

Standing whole day is also not a good thing, that is why I was switching between the two all the time. Standing position is giving to much stress on the keens and develops things like atherosclerosis, hip arthritis, varicose veins...
