My knee's swelled up like a football, can't bend it at all, I was supposed to start a job for a builder today but i had to let him down, U s plumbers are not designed to work over 50, I've done well but pushing my luck now, anyone local to Wigan want some work ?  |

bummer indeed, I seen the doc and he gave the usual advise, keep any weight off it, don't kneel down and take anti imflamotories, I use Ibuprofin but its like eating smarties, You just gotta wait till it settles, and the older you get, the longer recovery time you need, tomorow is another duvia boring day,,  |

I’m sure Tom & others will wholeheartedly agree: Advice for any young pups in the Trade........knee pads, knee pads, knee pads!!!
You’re not invincible, the way you look after your body now will determine how it holds up in later years.
I hope your knees improve Tom. Not many Plumbers coming to the end of their career don’t have fucked knees, myself included.
Get plenty Omega 3 oil down you, oily fish & Walnuts. Stop smoking, lose weight & moderate your drinking(now, what else did the Quack tell me?)

I followed some of the Dr's advice too Dick and apparently there's a turn around, that oily fish is found to be no longer good if you suffer from arthritus, Its full of purines that lead to high uric acid in the blood, In turn can lead to gout attacks,
you can't win mate,, smiley-sad056 nay

Yep, using the old bending spring for years and kneeling on concrete floors catches up with you eventually Thomas.
