Bismillah
Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)
It will be permissible.
However, if you are slightlty inconvenienced in doing Qiyam, without fearing any increase in your pain or expressing severe pain, and able to fulfil the Fard requirement of Qiyam (standing posture in Salah), then it will be incumbent upon you to stand to the extent of your utmost ability after which only will you be permitted to sit down and complete your Salah with full Ruku and Sajdah.
Also, a person will only be excused in fulfilling the Fard requirement of Qiyam if a person is overtaken by severe illness or weakness due to which he is unable to stand, or fears his illness or pain increasing if he has to stand in Salah. He will then complete his Salah in the sitting posture and thereby comply with the requisites of Ruku and Sajdah as well. (Nurul Idhah Pg. 102)
And Only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
