What can relieve the pain after standing for 3-4 hours?

I’m a teacher struggling to get through the day. I’ve been dealing with glute and leg pain (back of thigh) for a couple months now, starting once the school year ended. Now that I’m back at work and on my feet a lot more, by the time I get to my 3rd class of the day the pain in the back of my thigh is severe. I’m almost in tears each day and have to do breathing exercises (the same ones I did during childbirth - natural labor was more manageable than this honestly).

What can I do during my lunch break (15 mins) to get through the rest of the day? I’m going to PT and do the exercises every day. I have an appt with a doctor this week to talk pain management but I’m not sure what they can really do for me.

Anyone else have severe pain after standing instead of sitting?
