Anyone eles beat up ,, or just the Geritol gang ..

My right foot has hurt for 2 months now ,,, tender in the middle right aft of the toes .. Went to a foot specialist .. got anti inflamatorys and foot padding instructions .. Think I did it on a pointed rock ..

Also my left knee hurts and is swollen .. Hurts when I cast .. I have this new baseball swing cast that keeps the lure low, to cut threw the wind .. hurts when I do it ..

feel free to whine here ... misery loves company ..

Theres an old farts section of the forum here.I beleive you will find sympathy in there.

Hi Ed,
Ya, I feel your pain:wavey:

Ed yes sounds about right, back and legs here

Just downed 4 advil.Pulled a back muscle while casting this morning.Nursing a swollen finger also.Mr Blooofish sunk a 3/0 treble in my index finger also.Right at the knuckle,I was lucky!

Ed,no pain no gain.with ski season just around the corner you better get your act together and stop moaning

Hi again,

Ever think of trying acupuncture therapy ? My little brother (he is a better fisherman than me, he actually owns a boat). was having foot pain. He tried orthopedic shoes and various excersizes, but that didnt do much. He went to a acupuncture doc and the last time I spoke with him, he said the pain has been reduced. He is 51 and is a truck mechanic, on his feet all day. might be worth a try if nothing else works.
Good luck.

Left knee really feeling it this year

Right elbow is concerning me

Back is either tight, spasmed, painful, sore

Right ankle

Toes

Jammed finger

You kidding me?! I am a mess...where should I start???:rotf2::doh:

His right arm is as strong as an ox though:cheers:

Just old age kicking in Ed

I screwed up a tendon in my right arm landscaping two weeks ago...it's still killing me and keeping me from fishing :af:

-spence

degenerative arthritis c6/7 vertebrae 4 celebrex a day

that's like 20 advil

falling on rocks sucks

i feel your pain tagger. try some foot inserts sometimes it's a arch problem and those 1/2 heel inserts will make it feel totally better. yes heel inserts...

my left nut is still hurting from cutty

thumb - too many damn fish around this year :hihi:

Yeah we're getting old. Even my........................what were we talking about here?

I was feeling the same aches and pains at the end of last year as well but worked out at the gym to support the muscles around the tendons last winter and this year has been great!

Get to the gym over the winter...consider it training for fishing.

Tagger, fozen water bottle under your arch, roll it with your foot for 5 min 2-3x a a day. Stretches everything out.

I hear ya on the feet hurting......Im all done with bootfoot waders...
I never have felt this sore in the morning until this year.....
I am going to have to do some dieting and working out soon...Im too young to start feeling old..

Well if any of you old timers are looking for some help walking out on the rocks at your spots feel free to pm me and I'll meet up with you.I got the bait,coffee and you can fish out of my plugbag so you dont need to carry your own.I'm a Truck mechanic the concrete floors are killing my knees and ankles.The clutches and transmissions are killing my back.My idiot boss and the other drones in the shop are hurting my head.So yeah I guess I'm a mess just not from fishing.

Matt...almost time to scrape the dust off that clothes hanger.....errrr.....I mean.....workout machine you got!!!:hidin:

You kids...if it weren't for ibuprofin @ 800mg , I'd be screaming jello. Eddie, for those foot aches, straighten your leg , grab your bir toe, and try to make it slowly touch your kneecap. If you have what I did it'll be cured real quick like that, plantar fasciatis (?) I'm just sore all over, throwing too much weight too often. Haven't felt this beat since High School Football.

My ankle is really killing me. Ive sprained it in the past and re-injured it this summer. Now it has a tendancy to roll.

The only thing that doesn't feel likes it's hurting are my ear lobe's.I'm sure those will start soon.

My POCKET hurts from all the plugs I buy!!!:)

Thats a great idea .. I'm joining a gym and doing alot of leg stuff for next year,and loosing some weight .. I went out like Auston Powers Fat Bastegde this year .. Waders fit me like a condom . Most weight I ever put on,, last winter .. not ready too let it all go ... ever .

Usual elbow and shoulder junk I can live with. Knee is a given after four surgeries, all about 30 years ago. But I am concerned with right hip acting up......

Fishing is a endurance sport.6-8 hrs on yer feet.making 10,000 cast's.
As we get older it does not get any easier.
While I may not look it.I am really limber.I walk, I move the weight's around enough to keep the dust off em.Every morning out of the shower I do a 5 minute streching routine.Look at some yoga moves..It's worth it..You have to keep at it.
The choice is simple really.The thing that bothers me the most is sleep deprivation..
I need my rest now more than when i was younger..I can feel the toll all nighters are having on my phyiscal health.

But I am concerned with right hip acting up......

maybe you need a replacement, you are getting up there in the years :hihi:

just kidding obviously. my uncle has alot of joint problems and takes some joint supplement from GNC that he says changed his life. I'll ask him next time I see him - its probably either steroids or HGH under a different name though

:hihi:
I studied some martial arts about 25 yrs ago..It's all good.Just getting some excersise is trhe key.Whatever it takes. 150 mins a week is a good start..
Its as simple as a 1/2 hr walk 5 times a week.U will be surprised in the difference it makes..

Not sore at all this year... No, NOT a good thing. Wasn't able to fish as much due to family stuff. I much rather be sore.
