Tony what did you actually do to your back to cause permanaent damage?

[Tony McC]

Three discs damaged simultaneously: top (L5) and bottom (L3) "prolapsed" while the one in the middle (L4) is permanently and irreparably ruptured, exerting pressure onto the sciatic nerve and allowing the vertebra to make direct contact.As iff that wasn't enough, the accumulated scar tissue that developed during the 10 months Warrington Hospital played "Operation Cover Up" has distorted the muscles giving me a lop-sided limp and 24 hour pain.

And all caused by too many years of laying paving. I started laying 2x2s when I was 8, not realising that by the time I reached 36, the consultant reckoned the numerous MRI scans showed I had the back of a 60 year old, so they wrote me off.

as ronny reagan once said " hard work never killed anyone,but i figured "" why take the chance?""
sadly its the pen and paper builders that last the longest, I have trouble delegating at times, but if you want to last the course you have to be able to do it

You can only work hard for so long, then its time to work clever ! ???

I`ve been of the tools for over 2years, back on them now as work is short and have to be seen as useful. 4 weeks of solid pain.
