if when you have your arm as you described Does it hurt like hell on the outside of your tricep at the level of your lbow, and does it hurt when you are gripping a saw etc?

 

Doesn't seem to hurt when gripping the saw, but when I've been using the blower for 5 or ten minutes is when it kills, more when using something that hangs from your grip like a shopping bag !!

 

James... Both daughters are normally upstairs playing boom boom music really loud or scrapping in lumps and our lass is in the other room watching tv, I just sneak off and lock myself in my office :001_smile:

Ah... Locks!! Noted.:001_tongue:

 

Sorry, back on thread, I have found a bit of a pain now and then ( I do play tennis too). I borrowed my mums tennis elbow support thingy which seemed to help. It basically is a strap around the arm below the elbow with a lump of plastic putting pressure on the outside of the arm, near to but opposite where you'd have a blood test, if that makes sense. (in that groove, have a feel). Thats if I had it on right anyway, but it seemed to help after a while. You do have to wear it for a while and may feel no difference for a while, as in a month or so when doing 'shopping'. And a bit like not standing up with bent knees and straining, just be careful and thoughtful about each and every manoeuvre with your arm and youll probably nip it in the bud.

I have started trying to two hand the saws when such as lowering conifer hedges instead of trying to hold he saw sideways with one hand and that seems to help.

 

I'll just cut out shopping for the forseeable future :001_tongue:

Never mind Dean, we all know you love helping your lass out, just work round the problem. You can still go shopping, just load the bags back into the trolley and push said trolley to back of car so no carrying then:sneaky2:!......Simple

 

 

Tell you lass this dean and you WILL be able to go again next week......

Just in case there are any doubters our lass took a photo, she's says it could be worth quite a bit if I ever become famous - not. The granny in the background nearly started a trolly rage, but I marked her cards straight away. :sneaky2:

You do look at ease though Dean, you have a relaxed but sound grip on the trolley handle and that bent leg sort of lean, me thinks your a pro at this shoppin lark:sneaky2:
