The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning all, an early morning visit to the doctor, my knee right knee has been playing up badly this last few weeks, so much so that I have found it difficult to go up and down the stairs and painful when walking the mutt. I was diagnosed with early onset arthritis 18 months ago, but it is far from the stage for surgery or anything like that. Surprisingly my knee is painless when cycling? So I have come away with more Naproxin and a referral for the Physio which will probably come through for some time next year. I have been doing stretching exercises as the muscles are quite tight and this seems to of helped, or is coincidence that the weather has warmed up a little? Oh the joys of getting older.

Same for me a couple of years ago, right knee as well. I was referred to the physio at Chase Farm which worked well. I still get the ache now and again especially if I've been kneeling.

I think it is the combination of old sporting injuries, I did play a lot of football and and squash up until 10 years ago. twisted knees and dislocated patella, rhs, 4 times. still, as I said, I doesn't impact on the cycling, yet.

I have started the decorating of the back bedroom now that MissP has departed. I am just taking a break for a cup of tea before re-joining battle rubbing down the woodwork. Just the skirting boards to do before the filling in starts.
