What do you all do for a living?

[weasel]

Sorry to hear that Spoons! Hope there's something else out there for you!

 

[weasel]

Is nobody on here just a binman, postman etc????? Lol!!

JayJedi and Jabba are both plasterers. I think we have/had a postman on here. Can't for the life of me remember who it was though!

 

[spoons]

cheers chaps - I actually survived redundancy but decided to go on my own terms, I thought it was time for a change and this way I get a pay off and a new job.

 

[weasel]

Cool. What you looking at doing now?

 

[Capetown]

Nice one Andy!

thanks again guys - same sort of thing but a bit more cash and a bit more of a challenge. I hope it works out.....

I used to be one of those. I got sick of it, and now i'm one of these.....

I should be so lucky - the doc has just told me I've got arthritis in my knees :shock:

I'm going to pick out a walking stick this weekend :lol:

 

[Capetown]

That's some really bad news Andy.

 

[weasel]

Jesus Spoons, it never rains but it pours!

Is there anything they can do for it? Is it bad ATM?

 

[spoons]

:lol:

I cycle 12 miles a day without pain so its not too bad, just hurts when I kneel. The doc has told me to 'flex' my thighs 100 times a day and the knee caps will eventually get covered in muscle and come away from the legs :?

Sounds bizarre, but then last time I went to see him with a sore Achilles he told me to walk on tiptoes for a couple of weeks :lol:

I have to do the same exercises every day as I have no cartilage left in my right knee

Sorry to hear that, sounds like I'm not too bad then - do the exercises actually help?

This is a DOCTOR you went to see and not some bloke down the pub/witch doctor/faith healer!?

I do wonder sometimes, the tiptoe thing worked but I got some weird looks :lol:

 

[weasel]

Probably cos of those high heals you insisted on wearing while you did it! :wink:

Defiantly - my specialist said that by increasing the muscle mass & strength of the surrounding muscles, the actual joint has less strain/impact.

Sounds odd but it works for me :mrgreen: Oh, and I certainly get some odd looks as I do my squats as I cook my lunch at work :lol:

One other thing. make sure your knee and ankle are in line when on your bike, mine were not so my pedal stroke wasn't helping my knee
