Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I think pain which you are having is more of a postural pain which occurs due to keeping your self in same position for long time. If it is possible then I would recommend you to take few minutes break after every ten to fifteen minutes work. That will help.
As you have asked about food, I wold encourage you to take certain food items like chicken, egg, fish, butter milk in your diet. Also make sure that you get 20 minutes of sun exposure daily. This will help in getting you calcium and vitamin D. I would also recommend you to take vitamin B complex and calcium and vitamin D 3 tablets for next three months.
Take more green leafy vegetables in food, like spinach.
