It's funny because Mac is just trying to make it seem like he'd be interested to know.

My blasted knee is in bits, did 1200 miles since last Wednesday and been on my feet all day.

It's like some evil baxtard has a knife and is twisting it around

In good news though the OHs son passed his final exams second time round

I've a sore elbow this last 6 months and it won't go away. I'm a man though, so until it falls off I can't really complain about it.

My knee is buggered, I've no cartilage in it on the inside of my leg/knee since an accident a few years ago

Well since falling down the stairs on the weekend I'm struggling to walk but I find myself in the same boat.

It's an RSI through work. I've really cut back on the heavier stuff this last while - no harm in the young fellows taking up the slack!!

Does anyone else watch 50 ways to kill your mammy? The mother is a sketch!!

I'm doing physio exercises every day at the moment, 6 week program to rehab IT band syndrome. Every time I run I get knee pain after 3km or so. Apparently my glutes (arse muscles) are to blame from spending too much time driving a desk or a car. Need to get off my ass more!

How does one drive a desk? Asking for a friend.

One sits at one desk and occasionally decides one is too lazy to get up and walk, so you drive around in your chair

Then you drive back to your desk and kick it a few times

I put mine on castor wheels and push it around the office going "wheeeeeeee" and bouncing off the walls. The boss doesn't like it apparently but he's afraid of me so he hasn't said anything.










I meant sitting at a desk all day long aka driving a desk

Whenever I am working in an office environment (not as a consultant onsite) I have the habit of doing this with my chair.

I've been known to go into meetings in my chair rather than get up and walk:pac:

Not sure how easy weighted squats would be though, if you have cartilage issues in your knees. My knees are just about the only thing that don't give me yip, so I've no real experience with that. Funnily enough though, the orthopedic surgeon told me doing squats would help with the arthritis in my upper spine, a balance thing, so maybe it might help the knees too.

It does help for me, pretty much any weight bearing exercise which is not jarring is good for me. I used do weight bearing squats and it was fine


Because I've very little cartilage I need to build up the muscle to compensate, which I've neglected the past few months.

I incorporate those into regular core workout but they hit the quads and not really the glutes and hip abductors, which causes the ITB problem. Banded clams, banded walk, donkey kicks the current regimen plus a bit of cycling, back to physio next week for more pain...

You'd want to stop that....take it from an expert!

I started doing squats when I was recovering from a knee injury and they're good in helping but you will need a good program. Also worth asking the physio to help you get your squatting form right so you're not putting undue strain on the knee, and keep an eye on your form. I had decent form but when I started upping the weights it went a bit to sh!t so I went backed off on the weights and kept an eye on my form and I'm pretty much back where I was weight wise now

If you've knee problems and need to work on your leg muscles, try swimming and water based exercises like treading water and water running.

I'm a crock at the minute too. I hurt my shoulder last year and it's been giving me fierce trouble. I got injections a few months ago and did some intense physio and it was so much better. Then I yanked myself playing tag and put my recovery back. I got re-injected two weeks ago and they did nothing! However it appears that the original injury may be worse, as my shoulder keeps slipping out of the joint. Not a full dislocation, just slipping around.

That sensation combined with the tendinitis, I'm not a happy camper. My GP suggested keeping arm in a sling when moving to minimise the slipping. I rang my consultant yesterday so hopefully he'll be able to see me in the next short while and we can make a plan. Because the current set up sucks.

Edit: I've 2 100km cycles coming up that I now can't do stupid shoulder.

OldRio

Good luck with the shoulder injury. After years of abuse at Work/Rugby/Gym I now have limited movement in my right shoulder. I'm doing light weights at the moment and have to be so careful. Just wear and tear and old age.

Shoulder injuries can be a nightmare.
You have no faith in yourself to either lift or drag anything. Id to get mine re-built after 7 dislocations..mainly rugby related....once was a yawn though.

Aye. I reckon I'll be getting her rebuilt. Surgeon said if last injection didn't work he'd operate.

Its a long journey recovery as its 3 - 4 months with slingtime but in my eyes totally worth it, Im lifting heavier than I ever have in gym and able to support a lot more with it than I used too. Not back to rugby not the shoulders fault though

Has anyone ever managed to eat a burrito without it completely falling apart half way through?

Yeah, just keep it in the tinfoil it comes in and tear as you go.
