Putting ur shoes on....

maybe we need a health forum

We need a chit chat forum Malay

health forum for me cos there IMO is mental health issues associated with this forum obsessed with supporting DT, who really has nothing to do with them and gives not one F for their existence, that is a serious mental health problem.
Go out for a walk or go in you're wheelchair, or take some painos and sleep it out.

Thanks Dr Malay

People can not help talking about President Trump.......Malay included

seek help and get some shiny new shoes

you post constantly on various nom de plumes in praise of a person you don't know, who doesn't give one f about you, think carefully about you're mental health, get yourself a pet dog and take it out for a wee walk if you are able.

Thanks Dr Malay

Ones Enough Malay we dont need a pair

I can assure you I don't hate anybody, particularly people I have never met.
I actually had to think if I hated anybody I had met in my life. Answer in my mind Not at all.

I never claimed otherwise. You don't criticise them and suggest
that they suffer a mental illness though.

Is TDS a real thing? Seems so

It is and has been since at least 2016.

I think the reason many on here hate trump is because he is a rapist according to a judge and jury who listened to all the evidence.
He's a nonce. People are hero worshipping a nonce.

He is first and foremost out to be detrimental to Europe and the USA. Now, we can all have different priorities and that's perfectly fine, but as a patriot and convinced transatlanticist I value my country and the transatlantic partnership above memes.

That won't appease the haters Ronald

Anyway is it only me having aches and pains putting on my plimsolls????

Chemtrails trended on X the other day.

Years ago I used to get loads of back pain, arthritis and grout. They all disappeared after I started on allopurinol. Something to do with uric acid.

Large quantities of ground beef are known to trigger gout.

I haven't eaten beef since the 90s, not counting beef curtains.

What happened since this was filmed to change your opinion on hamburgers so dramatically?

That was then. I am retired now so I don't have to eat that crap any more.

Wait...crap? Was it all a lie and you defrauded the honest punter when you touted hamburgers?

...but good thing I was finally able to trap you into admitting that the person in your profile picture is indeed you! HA!

Everyone has a job to do. I don't suppose you have much choice about what your paymasters in Peking tell you to say.

Shoes are not the issue. You can get slip ons and long shoe horns.

The real issue will be putting your socks on!

OP must have been still at school when he saw his namesake run !

doing my shoe laces up became a major problem last summer when i got arthritis in my neck and a bone spur which presses up against the nerve that runs all the way down my left arm causing intense pain up to my thumb. it was agony, the double knot was a must. fortunately after a month and lots of increases in medication dosage it is controlled. if you had told me that putting on trainers and doing up shoelaces would be a major achievement i would never have believed you, but it was. getting old sucks. i am 56.

Yes Windsor....I was about 14....my passion for racing started at about the age of 12

Agree with u Jolly....old age. We need looking after when very young and probably when very old also. I'm determined not to end up in a care home.....can't think of anything worse tbh.

With your tender age of 53 you are plenty enough of a spring chicken for fabulously awesome virtual and alternate reality headsets or even glasses to be available when you are in the care home. You won't even notice your buttocks is getting wiped by another man as you are enjoying your virtual trip to a local pond to feed the ducklings.

Pilates , biking and walking football.

I would (and have for a long time) spend a few quid on an osteopath before sinking lots of painkillers.

Do sit ups

It will be cheaper and better for you an your back

Great advice, you know as much about backs as your average GP, next to nothing.
In many cases a (good) osteopath will find the problem, fix it, and with interval treatment
will stop it recurring. I used to go every 8 weeks for years, sometimes it's 6 now.
I was in agony for years long ago and knew if I took tablets I wouldn't stop.

I don't have to visit the bone cruncher

sit up's!

I know more about backs than your average GP and more about knee's and cartilage!

I know more about how to avoid Covid than those 3 so called experts who held meetings with 100 journalists in a cramped room then banned us from going out in the sun and getting fresh air!

Think I've reached the age where my body's starting to let me down.

I've long had a slightly dodgy hip due to a childhood illness. Been back in the gym quite a bit, but realise my days of running are probably over. But last week I did a virtual body combat thing. Basically a cross between aerobics and doing sparring type punches and kicks into mid air. Still got pain in my hips and still hobbling over a week later! I used to do actual karate ffs, now I can't even do a front kick in case my leg falls off!

As a matter of interest what sort of shoes did you / do you wear saddo?

Welcome to the 50's DB (60's here). It's one thing after another now. Enjoy.

My back problems are old injuries wd, nothing to do with shoes.
The one at the base was caused by being kneed into the back of
a Police van by one officer while two others held my arms.
I probably deserved roughing up but not a damaged spine.

Regarding shoes though, I've had a lot of problems with toes rubbing
the last few months, and simply moving up a size doesn't always help.
I have to find wide toe box shoes.
I've never heard the term before and don't know why my feet have grown.

I know more about Covid but I am fully boosted!

Yeah,

The initial problem would not have been eased by loads of sit up t'is true!

Sit ups do help with lower back. A weak stomach does not help a weak back.

With regard to shoes I used to wear Church. Bloody marvelous shoes stopped leg pain , sciatica and back pain. Shoes and beds worth every penny!

With regard to your feet I have moved up a size. You can also get insoles which might help but you might well need wide toes style. Look it up on the internet. Must be several people with the same issues. I notice cricketers make a hole for the big toe which is really soopid! The shoes should be held tightly round the middle to stop the foot sliding forward and crunching the toe. Few things more uncomfortable than a long day in toe crunchers!

further if you have has a lot of back pain it is highly likely you have weak stomach and lower back muscles as you would be restricted doing exercise. If you cant do proper sit up then you should start with seated leg raises. For all of us getting old core is so important and if that is weak everything else is likely top be.

My second toe is a fraction bigger than the big toe, the big toe nail causes callouses
on the side of the second toe. Never been a problem until recently.
I did a few weeks work last summer, steelies were compulsory and I was kneeling
a lot. I think I was kneeling badly and the toes were forced down into the toecaps too much.
Only guessing.

You was a thug!?!

Luckily they didn't stop you from breathing in their extrajudicial efforts.

Again on the boots front I suggest you get an a professionally prepared insole but the boots need to be done up tight round the ankle to stop your foot slipping otherwise it will be misery.

Saddo Floyd!

I was a 70s teen edy. Leeds United, chasing girls, drinking lots, all potential sources of violence.
Anyone who was born after the eighties really doesn't know what they missed.

Glory days

Dirty Leeds were my team too!

Gary Sprake
David Harvey
Paul Reaney
Paul Madeley

Not forgetting Mick Bates and the immortal Terry Yorath!

When I was 15 I worked in some of their houses, can you imagine.
Reaney had a split level bungalow built in Collingham. He kept
a boxful of kit-kats in the fridge, we never did but I have since.
