Paul_ Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Back pain! Apparently worst culprits of lower back pain: Driving = 19 years as a rep! Half bending = Standing at finisher all day for the last 5 years Using vibrating machinery = See above! Put me down now! keithm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Back and knees due to 12 years as a HGV Fitter lying on cold floors, and thumb joints, I put it down to knifing heel fronts for 34years. The rest of the aches and pains are old age. keithm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simes Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Hands mainly. Notice the pain in the morning when I wake up. Particularly bad if we've been busy on repairs. My grandfather had ulcerated leg apparently due to using the stirrup on a last for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Lower back pain that strangely disappears every time i go on holiday must be work/stress related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Dude Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 2 bad shoulders, had numerous cortisone and other treatments but just comes back after a few months, my dad had the same issues, maybe the way I do the work, possibly the way he trained me when I was an apprentice...

chrisorros Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Well i've got Raynaud's disease i.e "white finger" from working the machines over the years. Pain, numbness & piss poor circulation in the fingers & thumb on my right hand. Only for the first half hour of most winter months. Simple fix is to run it in hot water for a little bit & use a stress ball to warm up the hand. Other than that nothing to moan about lol keithm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
