agree with all of you,

i just think there is always something that aches or hurts at any given time... only mine have come all at once at the moment

Numbness in my pinky and next finger and also pain in my left elbow joint so I guess tennis elbow or trapped nerve

Bloody hell, I think I'll just take my chances on the ladders 

[Pole 2 Pole]

As mentioned........havin loads of pain in my neck, sometimes throat,shoulders and back(upper and lower) Nothing that lingers for days on end...just random niggles almost every day. Never had it on ladders.....Quack reckon it's an age thing. The greatest cop out ever i guess,lol

I ache from carrying a heavier wallet - but that's all.

Since I went fishing pole and then SLX I have no aches and pains whatsoever - never felt better. Oh, I did get headaches from looking into the sun but that stopped last year when I got some reactolite lenses.

oh i get it now......its not a real illness......i have just worked it out......wait up, i need to go dry behind my ears

[pingu]

Get occasional back, neck, wrist aches...but I have now started to see a chiropractor every 8 weeks for a click-up session.

I have really started to look at the way I work and now try to stop scrubbing so hard and gripping the pole so tightly...(keep your minds out of the gutter )

Cheers
Dave.

The occasional neck ache on long jobs but now seems to easing if i don't grip the pole to tightly.

I had a rasied hip for about 16 months from lifting a mark1 freedom trolley in and out my van for most jobs.
It ruined my non-working life as i was always in pain and could hardly move. Funnily enough, i was ok when working or on my feet. It was sitting down or being stationary for more than 30 seconds that screwed me.
But as i could earn money easily enough i faffed about for a year before i see nhs. No joy. Had a massage and the woman noticed i had 1 leg longer than the other. Within a week of using the trolley as a van mount i was back to normal.
Apart from that nothing really. A few aches and pains which disappear as soon as i swap hands or posture.

Tennis elbow injection in May (Ouch)! 

Went to www.physioroom.com and purchased a compression thingy for me elbow, its great now, plus the Superlite Gardiner pole helps.

Any chance of a key ring Alex for the above mention. 

or maybe not.
