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.
It's a game of three halves!

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

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.  ;D

or maybe not.
