Health Issues

Just wondered what health problems we all have. Tick all that apply
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Blah should have ticked other too.

I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. One hand has been successfully operated on, the other is completely knackered, unfixable. Which is a wee bit of a pain, along with tennis/golfers elbow (double tendonitis) on same arm. This leads me to having smaller bundles to carry on the arm, therefore more weight on my back.... Well we all know what that leads to.

So I apologise for not ticking other :)
