Hmmmm....Drink or painkillers....drink it is then :D

Always use clutchless up changes (apart from 1st to 2nd), but I do like to give it a good blip on the way down

Jools,

Back to the topic.......

You can take Paracetamol for the pian and Ibuprofen for the inflamation. They are not contra-indicated so you can take them both at the same time.

Yeah i believe its a form of Teakwondo ....Korea developed Taekwondo it is the " art of Kicking "........

I know nothing about it, but he's pretty good. He was European champ two years ago at the age of nine in the under 13s category!

arrrrr....then !! i think that is what i would call a Gagu mawashi or hook kick..summit different to an ushiro...........yeah u gotta block them just not with your fingers.....heheheehhehe

excellent.....i have competed at european level and know how hard it is....its great experience for him...............

hope he keep at it and does not get too distracted by wine women and song like so many promising martial artists do....

Yes, he's been doing since a very young age - about 5 or 6 I think, so we're hopefully looking at a future champ if he does stick with it.

Despite his age he's actually got a string of girlfriends and is quite a hit with the ladies.

Takes after his uncle ;)

He got two uncles then.....................................hehehe

Cuprofen.....its the kippers tits.

I'm still getting over my knee reconstruction 6 weeks ago, but I've been back riding now for about 2 weeks. My regime is the following:

- 3 Ibupfrofin tablets each day. One roughly every 8 hours. These not only beat pain, but they are also anti-inflammatory, which will help swelling.

- Massage with Tiger Balm red each evening. This is applying heat.

- After the massage, apply ice. Actually I have a special cryo-cuff thing that I wear.


- Gym maybe twice per week on the stationay bike and step machine.

- I'm also having physio twice per week.

I'm finding that riding, with knee bent sharply, is getting much easier. I think holding the leg bent in a painful position for an extended period of time is a very good thing as it increases the knee's range. But this has to be followed up with ice to reduce swelling.

My tuppence worth.
