| Carl,
ive had issues with my knee in the past ( 3 ops to sort ), i found a support bandage helped a lot and some gel that you can rub in. can get it over the counter at chemist which has pain killer in it, warms up as well, sorry cant remember the name.
im in the same boat with shift work and losing the extra allowance when off so know its a pain when your off
hope you get it sorted mate

| well. i hope i dont have have operations, but i do wish that the hospital would hurry up with the appointment, so then at least they could diagnose the treatment! I do were a support bandage, but when i have shorts on the kids laugh, as they think i have one legged leggins on   |
