Really feeling it these days.

[DHTiling]

Over the past few months i am really feeling the stress of the trades wear and tear on my joints..


My left knee has really given me grief but is at a stage where i can work with knee pads ok.. but my hips / back etc etc are showing the signs...

So the past few weeks i am now on Ibuprofen 400g... and do feel like a new person.. i can tell though when i do forget to take them.. all the years of body abuse from weights to running / cycling and martial arts / fighting etc are showing their teeth on my joints...


Does anyone else take anti flams now ..?

Other than the "Normal" aches & pains, I think I'm ok for my age.:sofahide:

Been taking ibuprofen for several years and have steroids every so often. Also take glucosamine sulphate and cod liver of daily. Just started using honey from New Zealand which is supposed to help. £15 a pot I certainly hope it does anyway.

Yes Dave i seem to be falling to bit's as well, right knee, and now my Achilles tendon on my left leg seems very sore until i can get it moving, numbness in my hands, :yikes: i take diclowfenwick ,then i feel like a new man !! only trouble is the side affect of taking them is heart trouble :yikes: what do you do ?? Macdonalds is beaconing :sofahide:

Rotator cuff from ceilings, lower back, both knees, right ankle from where i broke it, both thumbs and recently started getting a sore neck. apart from rotator cuff in my right shoulder i think most of it is down to rugby, gym and MMA as Dave said. And i'm only 28!!!!

Don't wan't to know what i'll be like when i'm old like you lot :sofahide:

 

[Peter]

Never sore in work but feel busted some nights when I get home. Dunno if its related but get bad pins and needles most nights, been meaning to go to the doctor but can't get the time off :lol:. Think I just need to slow down a bit and maybe take a helper on as I do about 55-60 hours most weeks and don't know how to turn work down. Only 25 so don't want to be burnt out by the time I'm 40.

I got some quite serious health problems so pop pills like theres no tomorrow, even have to inject myself once a week with one drug, leagle drug by the way, I find spacing my work out, not over doing it and having weekends off helps a lot ....the old saying work to live, not, live to work, gose a long way in my book, you only need so much to live on so why kill yourself to the point you cant enjoy life...

I know a fella who was a labourer on site and all he seemed to do is use breakers, his hands are a mess after about 3 ops on them and they will eventually claw up.....

The finger next to the small one on my right hand has 'trigger' finger, and the nodule is there on the base of my little finger.

Clicks like mad on a morning, eases like normal when a work and then starts clicking again when I get home.
