A stand removes all tension and pressure from your legs and lower back. You can't have tension when you play, and you really can't be in pain. You shouldn't, esp. at your age. Even if you play a small tuba, a stand is a great thing to have. It's cheaper than a doctor visit with tests and x-rays. If the problem persists after you use the stand, then you know it's not tuba playing that is the root of the problem.
