Best bit of advice I would give anyone especially as you get older if you get any pains that last and dont go away get them checked out DONT LEAVE IT !
I am 75 and ignored a back pain thinking it was a pulled muscle and continued pushing a loaded barrow for over a year !!
but it got so bad I could hardly walk turns out a its tumour in my spine thats pushed out and fractured a few vertebrae in my back so now im disabled and got permanent back problems and on chemotherapy
all because I left it too late to get it checked out
DONT MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE FOLKS our NHS is free get it checked out

Cost me my late summer/Autumns fishing Adam been in there twice had a look at it and popped outside for a smoke
John bit far from Leicester but if you're ever passing by feel free to pop in I could probably even stretch to a beer on exit.

I'm 65 now. My fishing is now done during the week, avoiding the weekends . I do a week at a time as I'm also retired. This also means one person less on the lake over the weekend which frees up a spot for the working members 👍 I fish throughout the year, winter included.
Other than a knackered right knee I'm in good fettle. The knee is courtesy of running in boots with a heavy weights on my back whilst in the army. I need to make a decision on it shortly as to whether surgery is the way forward, but other than that I don't notice any great deterioration, still walking 5 miles a day with the dog.

Welcome to the old farts club, and happy belated birthday. 51 here any my main barrier has been 3 teenage kids. Daughter has just turned 16 now so I'm looking forward to doing more weekends next year, the only issue now is the bird who whinges and whines when I wanna go fishing, but I can always do something about her.
Definitely more aches and pains as you get older but I find a power barrow helps. I've now got one eye on retirement before 60 along with a nice Swift Kontiki and, If I'm lucky enough to make it, I'd love to go to all those places across Europe that I've never managed to get to bringing up three kids as a single dad.
