I just joined a youth circus and did stilt walking yesterday, now my back hurts. What should I do?

I seriously don't want to cause myself any back problems but I have to keep going to school and carrying my bag + notes is a little heavy even when I empty the stuff I don't need. It's just one part of my back on the right near the bottom of my ribs, so I think I just pulled or strained a muscle from supporting myself differently.

    Epsom salt in a hot bath should help ease the pain, no medications you're to young to take pain killers besides ppl become addicted to them

    Is 18 too young to take painkillers? I'm already prescribed them for other things... But thank you I do prefer natural remedies to drugs ^_^

    Stilt walking is not for you. Try something easier like fire breathing or tight rope walking! Both are really fun and safe as long as you pay attention to what your doing! Good luck! As far as your back it is normal as you strain to walk with stilts! Straining your back 90% of the time is the lower back.

    Put some ice on it for a minute.
    Then reach for your toes while standing for a full minute.
    Repeat until able to move better.
