Back ache
Hi there! My back aches a little bit after carrying weights, but I can still walk around and carry on my daily activities.
May I know if heat therapy or icing could help relieve the ache, or if not, are there any other options? I would like to avoid taking painkillers if possible. Thank you!

Having said that, I would recommend that you get a proper check up for your back. Sometimes, the back aches you may be experiencing may be due to a less than ideal posture or inappropriate way of carrying the weights. Simple advice after a proper check up by a healthcare professional can help to uphold the long term health of your back!
