Had a bit of a revelation today, I noticed my back was getting worse and worse, tilting to one side. The chiropractor diagnosed me with a anatomically shorter left leg, by 9mm. I had X-rays to confirm this. Now, I did know this, was diagnosed with it when I was about 13, and I'm now 25, but totally forgot about it.
But she could see another issue because of me basically leaning more on one leg then the other due to that difference in leg height. The left hip socket (is that the right word? Where the hip joint joins the ball joint of the leg), anyway, it wasn't perfectly smooth anymore, unlike the right hip socket which was perfectly smooth.
Also, she could see I did quite a bit of lifting when I was younger, (I had a job at a grocery store, lifting 25Kg crates now and then) she could see that on the lower vertibraes there was a bit of wear.
Now.....how much wear on your joints does wfp give? Many ladder people I know do feel their knees after years of service, but how about us? Most of us have done wfp less then 5 years, so apart from RSI and tennis elbows and such, what is the wear on our shoulders, arms and other body parts?
I must say it does worry me a bit, I'm 25, and quite fit, but even now I have already got a bit of wear on my joints. What about the joints I use for wfp??
