well at the moment im having neck probs, had 4 trips to the osteo and its not feeling so bad now although im being very careful how quickly i move....as gavin may have noticed:D

long term, my hips are starting to play up, mainly due to my flexibility, im at the age now where i really need to be stretching more.

im also having pains running from my shoulders down through my elbows, have been for about 3 years now, that plays up depending what im doing, the worst thing is when im using loppers for long periods.

my backs pretty good...occassionally if i have a heavy day on the ground it'll ache a bit but thats rare

other than that im fighting fit!!!!

[Pete Mctree]

maybe it would be easier to write a list.

 

Main problem i have is with elbow and shoulder joints. No way to rest them, trimming hedges is the worst antagonist

 

Stretching does help alot. Been doing it for a couple of years and the benifits are amazing
