Very sorry to read this Adam.

I really, really do feel your pain as my arthritic hip has rapidly deteriorated over the last 6 months to the point that I struggle to walk 100 yards and sometimes struggle to crack one off more than twice a day!

 

Seriously, it would be a great shame if you did switch trades completely.

 

As said before there's possibilities in training, consultancy, stumpy contractor, retail, Loler inspecting, etc.

 

I'm just very lucky that I've got some great guy's that I can trust to do the hard work while I do the boring stuff.

If its any consolation i am in a similar situation with pain ie can only sleep on one side if i do get to sleep , my left arm/hand/knuckles lock in the winter and my back i have to hang of the stairs bannister to stretch my spine to relieve the pain .

Again like yourself i had a big paper round has a kid (pig farm) so i was battered from a early age now 47 .

So this year i set out to reduced the repetitive chores in my job (garden maintenance/tree work and fencing).

Invested in Cordless saws/hedge cutters and long reach to save the poor shoulder and knackered elbows from playing Roller Hockey!

 

Again invested in 2 new mulching mowers Toro 30" and the Viking this alone knocked 5 hours of my round and reduced the repetitive grass box scenario.

 

Next on the list was fencing.....simple one that. ....Dont do fencing anymore and my back is tremendous again

It is possible to work something out that will help in the long and i now spend more time with the family and i ache a lot less too .

Great post Ste:thumbup:

 

Where there's a will, there's a way.

 

If there's no will, perhaps it is time for a change?
