I've been having problems with my knee on and off for a few years and now my back and shoulder with shooting pains down my legs ,i've had blood tests over the last couple of months and they said i've low vitamin D level which can cause all sorts of aches and pains so they've put on a coarse of vitamin D supplements
That's caused from working 7 days a week.
I'm not shoure if I so it in a magazine or on this site .A plasterer injecting steroid to his neck to stop the pain ????Theres a few pain in the necks on here they might be along soon and can explain better defo use the hand as a guide for ceilings thou , other wise it seems to be twice as much work !

You wait till FridayTreat it like a sport. Jumping up and down of hop-ups, climbing ladders, stilts, on the feking go all day. Need your sleep, good food, and stretching. Plasterers are mad. Soon as Friday comes it's beer time. Rough as f*ck on Monday and do it all over again.
Ok lads b plastering 20 years know having a bit of neck pain .Has anybody experienced this?. I think b doing ceilings does not help
Are talking about your neck ? Because some las have b talking of other part of the bodyI try and see my chiropractor every two or three weeks. This helps with those sorts of things. I haven't see her for about 5 weeks as been to busy but just booked one for tomorrow as hurting now!
Haha yeah no happy ending with this one!Are talking about your neck ? Because some las have b talking of other part of the body
I wear a copper bracelet, take cod liver oil and see the chiropractor every 3 months. Still hobble about like an old man. Oh wait... I am an old man.
I thinI'm 32 and had pains from the plastering for the first time this year. A few of the lads I work with that are 40+ are killed with back and shoulder pain. It is a seriously tough job on the body! Then you have some people saying plasterers were charging too much money at one time! I think any money a plasterer ever made was hard earned!
Wear and tear m8 I don't think there's no escape from it in this hard trade we should of tried harder in schoolHaha yeah no happy ending with this one!
yeah neck back and shoulders, also ankles from using the hop ups ever day.
Have you found the copper helps much?
So do u have take it off to get stiffNot sure fella. Don't know how stiff I'd be if I took it off!
your rhight m8 plastering will tell on your body in the end . But u c some lads that kill them self and u try and tell them to slow down . But I think we have ol done stupid things when we started off working .that y we suffer in old age whith back neck because of the the greed of moneyI have seen my mri scans my neck has ledge developed just around where my head sits when I am plastering ceilings not complaining it's some where to put my head when I have a kip plastering is hard on the body full stop already had 2 discs removed and in permanent pain in one form or another also watch out for the spine alignment after years of holding a hawk and pushing a trowel will send your spine into all kinds of hell, these days I price in the cost of my oesteopath

That'll be the shandy mate
Overstretching causes a lot of problems.Years of plastering takes it toll on your body,anyone that says it does'nt is talking pure shtie.
Yes there's nothing like a good massage....with a happy ending.Even after a plaster is removed, the bone is still healing. Sometimes physiotherapy/massage is needed to help you recover. Massage therapy involves exercises to improve muscle strength, joint mobility and balance. These exercises help you to safely return to normal activities. Check with a specialist physiotherapist, when you can start taking the treatment and take it.
