spikes in the ankles??? I must confess I havn't climbed since January, so my back pain has transferred to the middle of my back from bending over (oo-er) chainsaw carving. I went full time carving in Jan cos I make more money from it.:D

 

Thats it!! Need a carving thread I s'pose.

For me its back pain and tedonitis. And occasionally problems with my ibial tibial band? i,e bad knee.

 

I've been told my bad knee is related to my bad back, which comes and goes along with my back.

 

My tendonitis has virtually gone and I rarely feel it, occasionally on the rare job where I will use a pole hedgecutter for long periods.

 

I found with all my little niggles and pain is do not ignore them, try to find out what causes them and try to remedy it.

 

At the moment i'm not following my advice, I need to go to my back doctor, and i'm not warming up enough before and after work!

 

Also i've stopped doing yoga which in the 6 months I was doing it I did find improvements. I'd go as far to say in my opinion yoga is the ultimate form of low impact excercise for our line of work.
