Why oh why do we push ourselves and then suffer afterwards.
My son is home from the army and decided to have a slow walk to Tesco with him ,its only a 10 min. walk (for normal people) and boy am I suffering now..... can hardly put my leg on floor to walk and then its "ouch" ouch ouch !!!!!! I have had a bath to try help and waiting for diclofenic to take hold now ..... I will never learn will I

    Some lessons are just too dull to learn and time spent with sons on home from the army is rarely wasted. Hope you feel better soon LVxx
    Hey little fighter, things will get brighter

    I spend far too much time on a computer; bad enough at work (although I do have an ergonomic mouse) but then I come home and sit on the PC (where I don't have an ergonomic mouse) or the laptop. Laptop isn't as bad for my hand and obviously not using a mouse helps, but I really should be resting my hands.

    We all suffer payback but sometimes it's worth it ! Am sure you feel proud of your son doing such an amazing job , our eldest was in the royal navy for 15 years , we're still brimming over with pride ! Jillyb

    Got him home for 3 weeks, its great but boy can he eat. I usually go to Tesco by car but hubby was at work and Wiliam asked do I want to go for a walk? He hasnt seen me since I had my bad new knee and doesnt realize I cant walk ...according to and pumped into him..... pain means weakness lol well I have went well through the pain barrier today .He has been in 4 years and lover every minute of it

    We never listen to our bodies when they warn us enough is enough, we always say another 5 mins whe we mean another hour! Your right we never learn!!
