    Anti inflammatory pills. Rest, ice, Strapping. Pain killers get you through however they just mask the problem and usually you end up worse.

    Knee Pad Survey

    My knees are creasing me at the moment and never wear knee pads yet I know it would help. They feel bulky and awkward. I used to get a clout around the back the of the head if my old fella caught me kneeling, was told a plasterer should never be on his knees unless hes praying.

    Calories Per Day

    5000 and below i would thought and thats for grafting. Not to eat empty calories that is foods that give you no nutritional value. Slow release carbs and protein where you should be getting calories from
