Whitefinger and other injuries.

[Khriss]

Once had the s*%£$s for three weeks after a bad takeaway curry.....Tree work incidents ? Nah, not relly........ Had a couple cheques bounce once-that hurt....

Not wanting to sound to morose but how many of you are living with injuries sustained in this industry?

 

I'll start. Whitefinger caused by holding on to revvy 2 strokes since the age of 16.

 

Smashed teeth from top coming out of dead elm when climbing...pre helmet days.

 

Broken vertabrae from tractor winching accident.

 

Crushed foot when lowering crotch broke and rope trapped foot with section of pop on the end.

 

Now takes me at least an hour in the morning to stop aching but still climbing as fast as I always was..I think:001_smile:

 

 

i had a really sore back for a while, so i went to an osteopath who recommended i alternate my wallet from my right back pocket to my left hand pocket so i could even out the load on my spine:001_tongue:

Tennis elbow, usual early days silky cuts, black conifer snot, big pinch on top of thigh from resting running hedgetrimmer on Levi's, all normal day-to-day scratches, nicks etc.

 

Badly burnt palms from single-handedly lowering a small bit of "brushwood" that was leg width. And yes, the climber did warn me. Friction? Naaaa.

How’s the tennis elbow these days then mark?

Slight arthritis in my right knee and right wrist. I’ve had the hydrocortisone injection in my knee and it was great for two days. Circuit training and climbing has been the best help for it oddly enough.
It’s when I stop moving tat it starts to creak a bit.
Usual silky nicks and irritated eyes from sawdust.

Backs of my hands ache and feel a bit weak at times.  No idea what it is though
