Welcome Richard, I've had an op on my shoulder about 8 years ago and it's OK now but also take strong tablets for arthritis which maybe masking wear and tear. I'm 50.

Yes Phil must be difficult for you at times?!
Similar @CeeVee, seen the chiropractor , and the answer seems to be using more blades, less trowelling and stretching before and after work. If you were an athlete that would happen routinely.

As it happens I was told by a very sporty mate of mine that the reason I sweat so much is because I'm basically an athlete...
I'm so physically active being a plasterer that my body expects extreme work whenever I do anything mildly active...therefore I sweat like a pig all the time!!!

Apparently the resting heart rate of an "athlete" is between 43-59bpm mines 52bpm.....not bad for a fat spread
Im blowing out my arse after a few hundred meters running so not sure whats gone wrong with the theory lol

I in fairness have had a few problems not related to plastering ie a car crash had 2 discs removed and some odd arthritis at a young age, swear that plastering has kept me in better form than if I had a desk jockey job (having tried that some 20 years ago) I am 42 now. I have a very good osteopath, when I posted this I hadn't seen him for a couple years (a testament to how good he is) however turns out I had a couple problems in my neck and I am half way through treatment and trowel arm is improving but does this sound familiar to anyone I now have an issue with partially numb hands ?

I have had a string of problems over the years.
At 31 had a knee problem which is down to a dislodged knee cap after 3 accidents on the same knee. Had surgery and got over it.
As someone has above I woke up aged 33 and both wrists was aching. One painful the other weak and numb. I was diagnosed with tynosynovitus in both wrists. Stopped rendering until I was 39. Managed the business making zilch and went on the cabs to makes end meet.
At 53-54 I got tennis elbow and I had two years off with that.
Had back problems since my 30's and has been bad this year but started doing yoga for back pain and that has helped a lot.
Plastering tears you apart. I get others to do the slog when I can. Costs a bit having a labourer all the time bit it keeps me going for now.

Just to counter that, my brother who doesn’t do any physical work whatsoever and is overweight gets drenched in sweat just walking down the street. I’ve never been much of a sweater and I’m physically active in gym and other things. Everyone’s different thoughAs it happens I was told by a very sporty mate of mine that the reason I sweat so much is because I'm basically an athlete...
