You young upstart noggy, one of the things you must do when you are older is moan to all and sundry about all your medical problems

^^This. Mandatory.

I laugh when young (unqualified) folk try to advise older folks about how to deal with aches and pains. There'll come a day when you'll know what we're on about Noggy

Nick it's just as well you're not a bike or you'd definately be Cat D'd by your insurance :lol

[devilsyam]

I'd comment if it Diddnt hurt so much

[anutz]

ok, so im 47years old and falling apart :eek :eek ... 2 focced knees and a gammy hip :rolleyes ... the knees because when your young you don't think to use knee pads :uhuh ( im  a heating engineer so on my knees most of the day some days ) the hip because of 3 offs on the right side 30 years ago,  so I can only ride for about an hour before I have to stop for a break... doesn't matter if im riding like a god un or just bumbling around. 8) 8) 8)

so who else suffers :rolleyes

approaching the ripe old age of 31, fractured L5 vertabrae that healed/fused incorrectly......

i can ride well and through most pain, but sometimes the pain in the hips is the one that causes me to pull over, and if i cannot then its time to ride home quckly......when you have your helmet on no one can hear you scream.....

lol

[Dead Eye]

I'm just gonna take this thread as a guide of what not to do over the next decade or two - I'm still a young'n by your standards at having recently turned 25

[lew600fazer]

Am I the oldest one that is knackered on here 66 been unable to ride for nearly 3 weeks now. I cannot get my left foot on to the foot rest now even if I do manage it cannot change gear. I had x rays last Thursday and report back this Thursday for results. I have already been told I need a new knee but also been told to lose weight as, on my own admission I am a fat git. Hoping come Thursday she will give me a Cortizone injection. If she does that it will give me some temporay relief.
Arthritus is a bitch. Doctor has taken me off Norproxine as being on them to long can be bad for your heart. I did point out while on them I was still reasonably pain free and mobile. I would have thought being a fat bastard was just as bad for me heart?? cannot win , fecken doctors eh!!!!!

[Dave48]

Reading all these threads doesnt half make me grateful that ,apart from my much abused lungs, I have no mobility issues but I am still only 67 :lol

Forgot - riding a bike sorts out my dodgy back after a bad fall 8yr ago. If I don't ride my back tightns up  :lol

Damn, you were right! That's the most pain free I've been since the off

Nice one Nick, pleased for you fella. That's a few aches now sorted since the off 

Now, what about this cheeky fecker below

Another supplement for all yous old farts.........rose hip......really good stuff.


Walking is also one of the best gifts anyone can give themselves as a means to keeping pain free......hour a day......get a dog.


Weight training is also proven to be good for bones, joints & general wellbeing.....dont listen to all the endurance freaks who say it has no place......if more old folk went to the gym they might still be able to get themseves up & down the stairs instead of splashing out on bungalows.....much cheaper too.


& of course as frosties says......riding is the best cure for everything coz when youre grinning you're relaxed.........ok im lying.......maybe FZ1 isnt the best bike if you have any pains.......id still rather be shitting myself on a tight corner than shitting myself while sat watching bowls :lol

Now I know I'm right about a few things Noggy but all the advice you give above about keeping moving does not explain why you carry a friggin fuel tank around with you. "Who ate all the pies...........who ate all the pies " :lol :lol

[noggythenog]

Errrrrrr......i am but a book........full of advice & useful shit but in essence i am just a big lump of carbon & the most pain i feel is when Morrissons have just sold out of Rottiserie chickens  :b

[Andy FZS]

Don't worry I think tesco do them as well.

[Grandma]

Scary reading this thread and I am probably the oldest! Did have a new hip last year which has proved to be a godsend, need surgery on arthritic shoulder but on a cocktail of meds which keeps it going for the time being, This a result of being knocked off the R1 in Scotland 2009 with an 8 day stay in Glasgow Southern General while they decided what to do.
[/size][/color]However I have two dogs, so do a lot of walking, which I am sure helps, as I too have dodgy knees due to other non bike related accidents but not looking forward to a time when not able to ride my bike, hoping that is still a long way off :\

[lew600fazer]

Just been told today to stop riding my bike due to the lack of mobility in my left leg (knee) .If I do not agree to stop riding it until after I get a knee replacement I will have to surrender my licence.
Ah!! well it is to dammed hot here in Spain this time of year anyway. Time to see if I can do a few wee jobs on her.Drop the fork yokes a tad and rear suspension brackets to repaint etc!.
I thought I had found a way out when I went onto Pat's FZ page and located a foot  rest lowering kit but sadly the company that made the kit has stopped trading or stopped miking the kits.
Maybe time to look for something with a bit more upright riding position.  :'(

[slappy]

Sorry to hear that Lew, now over two weeks since I could bend my right knee enough to ride , awaiting results from yet more blood tests.
Old age is beginning to truly suck.

If its any consolation my father who is 85 this year had a new knee put in 7 years ago and hasn't had any bother with his knee since, everything else on his body is buggered but at least he has one good knee

[taylor]

try a Raleigh chopper lew they are quite upright, :rollin seriously I am only 49 and starting to feel fu,,d

[lew600fazer]

Well give her a good wash down this afternoon , bit of a polish , looked longing at it. Said fuckit, something I never do. Banged me lid on , shorts and tee shirt and off I went. Hit the AP7 red lined it all the way for 20 mile or so. Yes the knee is fecked but what a rush.
Will hopefully get the job (knee ) done and take it from there.
It is midnight here and that was a few hours ago, fecking knee is a ballon.

Anyone had any dealings with this lot. gear looks good and they do the foot rest lowering kits, could be a life line.
