Stand at your desk? If so get a mat that absorbs shock like hair stylists have at their station and have a chair so you can sit if needed though can stand and move around a bit. I did that the last 5 years I worked as an "advice nurse/telephone triage" with a modified work station. Maybe wear shock absorbing and supportive shoes as well. I have not been able to ait for long periods even after 2 discectomies (L5S1 and L4) so the standing station helped greatly. I didn't start getting ESIs until after I retired on perm disability tho I wish I had.

Good luck with your PT consult and all
