I get dry peeling skin on the tips of my fingers, from my work gloves. Does that count?
Otherwise, I'm remarkably lucky.

How are all of your knees?

So, what you are saying is that, having just started cycling again, I have all of this to look forwards too??

Mine are knackered, before I take up cycling. Right one, dislocated at least a dozen times, complete rebuild two years ago. Left one, dislocated twice, most recently last month (walking the next day I found the post op one was worse lol) awaiting fresh physio.
But hoping that the cycling will actually improve my knee strength.

Strangely Paul, that's what I did.
The surgeons' were hovering over my knee, scalpels sharpened, saying you need an operation.
I refused and just spent time in the gym rebuilding my quads and I get a bit of pain occasionally, but nothing to whinge about. Depends a lot on the knee problem of course.
Mind you, my back is bloody killing me. I knackered it helping my brother move his warehouse of books last weekend. A box of 24 hardback books weighs about 50 tonnes BTW - especially if you are lifting it from the top of a 3 storey warehouse while clinging to a ladder with one hand - and we had a big warehouse to empty

Cycling is excellent for knee strength...... depends upon how 'keen you are'..... and your long term goals.........
Generally it's brill............... fitness health, non impact etc........ BUT you do have to be careful of twist injuries if you get into cycling more than 'other stuff'........ - i.e. other sports..............

Left knee grumbles a bit now and then, usually when I've gone further/harder than usual. A support bandage over night, or a rest, sorts it out. I will, I suspect, have to get it sorted properly at some point in the future.

I agree - my knee was knackerd playing tennis.
Cycling has been the kindest rehab on the knees I've found - if you have the set-up right.
If not, you will knacker your knees (if your saddle is too low for example).

I had bad problems with my ITB band a few years ago meaning my left knee was agony but fortunately no long term damage was done and I've learned (touch wood) how to combat it ever getting that bad again.

Dry peeling skin?
Work gloves?
Have you considerd mangaman plc. no win no fee compensation? You'll have seen the ads I'm sure, and remember the logo - sung by a cross between a Meerkat and a 3 day old kitten - "when unfortunate random events happen I can sometimes make money out of them"
Remember - where there's some dry peeling skin involved, huge cash payouts are sure to follow.

Mine too thanks, I put this down to a lifelong aversion to sport.

I put it down to still only being 28 and having problems to (potentially) look forrards to in the future, yay!!
