[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1832303, member: 52978"] My first 10 years was split between PT(1.2) years and package car, 9 years. Had my share of rolling ankles and trips and falls, but nothing I had to have surgery for. Went into feeders and spent my last 28 years. Feeders has it's own type of lifting (mostly dolly related) that can hurt you in a whole lot of different ways. I believe my problems (knees both shot, lower back pain and right shoulder rotator cuff repaired) Came about over the whole course of my career, not just a particular incident. (except the shoulder) It's just a general wearing down of your body over an extended time doing a physical job. I need knee replacement surgery on both knees, but the Dr says I'm not a good candidate right now. I now use a cane to walk and have a blue park up close placard, as well as a check from SSD every month. If you would have told me when I was a young buck that I wouldn't be able to walk for more than 10 minutes before I reached age 60, I'd have told them they were crazy. I miss all the places I can't go in my retirement. Baseball, football games, malls, flea markets, etc. I just waited too long to get out. [/QUOTE]
