Whats your weakest link ?

[skyhuck]

My left hip and knee give me a fair bit of gip, but it far worse when I'm not working than when I am, so if anything it makes me want to keep going.

With a shoulder like mine the last thing I need is to start pulling legs.

Tennis elbow in my right...... Elbow! It's getting worse, but don't want to go see the doc. Know what there going to say- rest, time off work ect... Trouble with been self employed. I'm 26 and been doing it for 10 years now.

Left hip and knee which I blame on the Unimog and it's almost vanished since I sold it a week ago!

 

Other than that, perfection allows no room for weakness :lol:

Rainford, frick off, you are only about 15!

 

Seriously, my elbows were so bad a couple of years back I thought I was doomed (search 'tennis elbow' threads). Managed to sort that.

 

Now my left knee is the bother (rugby and football responsible more than treework).

 

Not ready to go into banking just yet mind.

I can work all day, but using things like hedge cutters at full reach for a bit kills my arms. They aren't the lightest of things though!

 

I also get issues with my back. Lots of lifting and carrying seems to compress my spine and gives me bad backache. Used to be really bad but an osteopath told me that the middle section of my spine doesnt bend and that's what was hurting. Couple of visits to him and it's better but still aches every now and again.

Really at 21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

When I was 21 I was indestructible, no aches or pains, wish I was the same today.

 

In all seriousness if your have problem so young I would find a new career, or you could end up with some really serious health issues.
