No real problems here, sometimes a bit achy on a Monday morning but that's because we have a work football team that plays in a Sunday night. :Very Happy

Diclofenac is always good for aches and pains,it does me.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Could you not use a Golf Trolley ? I do, its saves my back from any abuse, the only time I don't use a trolley is on light days Monday and Tuesday then from Wednesday I switch to the Trolley as the workload picks up, it may take longer but at least its pain free, work injuries will stay with you after retirement long after that letter was delivered and binned 30 minutes early 20 years ago.

Watch out for Diclofenac, can cause stomach problems. My GP gave me omeprazole, which sound like something your take anally! But, it stops the diclofenac causing ulcers, but you may still get stomach cramps. I did. Mrs made sure it was all taken correctly
Mrs/Boss is medically trained, either that or she dabbles with drugs occasionally!
