Why are you standing in one place for any length of time?

Do you have a job that requires that? Can you change the job in any way?

At the minimum, move around. Walking a bit, even though you are still on your feet, should be much easier on your legs than standing completely still. This would be true if you were 22, rather than how ever old you happen to be.

It is also possible that you need shoes with better support. I cannot begin to address that issue, and it may well be very difficult to find a shoe person who can help you with this.
