A mate of mine has Crohns Disease. I hope you get yourself sorted out.
Concerning the knee, I've put it to the test this week with a couple of walks in the Yorkshire Dales and the Peak District, not Helvellyn I know, but I came through the walks totally pain free! I wasn't taking any chances and had my new sturdier boots, plus I took a strong anti-inflammatory before each walk and did a few stretches as well. I also didn't 'fire off' up the steep bits like I usually do (the missus was glad!). I'm not saying I am fit to bag a new Munro yet, but I am off to Skye in August and hopefully if I keep to tamer walks between now and then, I might be okay.
Aci, thanks to your words of wisdom, you have been officially appointed the WAB god of knees.

Regards, Chris

Hi Chris, Glad you are enjoying your walking again pain free..Don't over do it before your holiday.

The consultant said I have a big infection. He prescribed two lots of antibiotics and I have to go back in 3 weeks..I feel better now...

Anyway I don't want to go off topic so enough said.

I climbed Kinder Scout from Edale on Sunday and apart from a couple of twinges in the knee (I stopped and did a couple of stretches), it went okay. There was a steep bit up to Grindslow Knoll and a very steep descent down Crowden Clough, but they didn't cause any significant troubles.

Regards, Chris

Glad it went well, Chris. I hope your knee is now well on the way to being fully recovered.

You're certainly gullible if you go to a chiropractor!!!!!

So far so good Pete. But it is a tricky one. As I have been quite anxious about it, I have been sorely tempted to keep pushing it a bit to check just how it is going, but at the same time I want to rest it to be on the safe side.

Decisions, decisions!
