Can you walk longer than 8-12 hours without having pain?

I have suffered for PF for 2 years now and I am beginning to start my career as a Nurse. As of now, I am currently looking for jobs. I am just very scared that the LONG standing and walking will kill me SOON!

I love Nursing and it is my passion. BUT..... The walking and standing for long hours really scares me. I don't think my body can handle it the pain. It makes me depress sometimes I cry thinking about this...

All I would say is try a non standing or walking type of job.
Perhaps health screening or pre op checks.
8 hours will just make it worse.

Sorry to hear of your anxiety, I am in exactly the same boat, writing about my next job as I am out of work. Time is the only solution in my opinion.
