Yes have a look on here lots of threads already on it. If you get it need to cut back on whatever affects it to manage it. 23 is a raw deal. Hope you have a fast recovery and the op works well.

I get bored as well just after a day off sick. I scheme ideas, invent and scrutinize myself, It helps me set up goals, I do achieve some of them.

I don't last long on video games and dvds either.

Had my right hand done after a year of agony, about 3 weeks out of action then back to firewood deliveries much to doctors horror, it is 100% now but took a while. Think it was caused by doing too much chemical 'spot spraying' over years using a dosing gun nozzle.

Did not enjoy the surgery under a local!

By the way I am wearing my bandage in the picture of me on the left, only thing I could do was walking!

Did not want to save a shed load of money again mate when i can have it done at the same time basically. trying to save money for a house and to do it again next year and waste the same amount of £ did not make sense
