right. should add, for me, sitting on knees, heels in backside, toe nails face down on the run. Not, sitting on knees with heels under backside and base of toes on rug. ALso, just luck of the draw. I could play squash ok enough up to 2003ish. I only stopped playing when I moved to another area. But first back slip up was 1999. Came to france in 06, following 3 years of plastering in uK, including using stilts to plaster ceilings, and did 10 years of site work here. Had a couple of of bad skiing crahes that jolted my neck, between 2010 and 3013, aggrivating an old injury sustained in a fight in 2001, and several car crashes between 1982 and 1990. Also skiing hammered the knees a bit more. Left of which was set to fail in 2016, not long after I saw myself on video filmed of me walking from behind and with a startlingly bad bowed legged gait. Right multi times sprained ankle was sort of ok, I did think I'd got it sorted in 2005 when I jammed it into a wahing machine door and twisted my body on the kitchen floor. I hurt my back end of 2014 carrying tvs down 3 flights of stairs and lifing bins of bottles into the back of a lorry. I couldn't put any weight on my right side, was apinful to walk the dog, I had a few months out of work (got laid off from job, no sick pay, they denied any responsibilty) That 'healed', mainly when I twisted my pelvis one night, but I later thought this was just a temp fix when my knee went. Then after 3 years of living with 'this knee problem isn't going away' tore the archillies tendon, running around the back garden showing a girlfriend how much better I was feeling, put right foot into tree stump hole, only toes touched front edge of grass, heel sank into hole,.. very sudden ' rip'. So.. when you combine the neck, back, pelvis, knees with the ankle sprain, and, the double right wrist sprain (rollerblading, 1999), broken a right knuckle 1990, right clavical bone (1970) loss of right eye 1979, it's no wonder i was feeling pretty bad last weekend. Like, get out of bed and feel like getting back in it as painful to stand, walk, walk downstairs, bad. In bed it feels ok, soon as you're upright... well you can't put yourself upright, it's a stoop.
