Retirement

[Gypsum_Conkers]

• Damaging the rotator cuff, frozen shoulder and arthritis are all shoulder injuries that can be experienced by plasterers. Anything that’s a repetitive action is going to place stress on the shoulder
• A lot of injuries caused are when skimming ceilings, over time the joints start to wear when you twist and move in peculiar ways and the pressure is always on to get the ceiling finished
• Driving a long distance sitting in the same position and then moving suddenly and twisting as you begin plastering can cause injury
• With an ‘itus’ or inflammation it’s about resting it
• Plasterers can suffer from Plantar fasciitis because of incorrect footwear and being up and down ladders
• Plastering is a hard job, you need to keep fit and get into a routine of doing something every day

Find wearing some towny air max on domestics helped with a heel problem and decent safety trainers like DeWalt sorted that on site work

Have had back problems but getting into the gym 1-2 times a week and doin the exercises the physio has sorted that .... definitely going the gym helped

Painkillers really aren't a long-term solution mate.

I agree totally but for now it gets me through the day sad I know this job sooner or later will Break us all down

Well I wish you all the best for the future mate.
Hopefully you haven't invested too heavily in @ChrispyUK s misadventure.

Thanks Andy, I'll let 2023 take care of itself and crack on in the new year.
@ChrispyUK can turn a penny into a pound, just ask him he'll confirm what I'm saying, so no worries there Andy.

Well you're not wrong I plan to factor in the extra wank possibilities during my transition phase.

But what do you call "big"?
I even refer to a 13in trowel as big.

Yes I guess it would be for you what do you use a midget trowel?

I use a traditional 11in trowel, just like all the old boys I worked with that made it to retirement more or less in one piece.
