When I paint, I usually paint about hours and I get back pain!. It's feels like after I'm working out, you know!. After you workout you get some pain in your legs, arms, back, etc!. However, I'm only a 16 years old kid, and I'm feel like I'm an older guy!. Is it ok to get back pain while painting!? Or is it just an every artist thing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
