  • A couple of weeks ago I did a lot of lifting/carrying when digging out the kitchen floor and re-doing it, using a couple of flexi buckets.

    Ever since, my hands/knuckles have been quite stiff and sore in the mornings when I get up, though they loosen up soon enough. Hoping I haven't done irreparable damage (no 'oh shit i've broken something' moments during the work) - any tips to remedy? R&R? Stretches?

  • How old are you, mate? I've started with - what feels like* - osteoarthritis in one of my knuckles. Have also been doing lots of DIY, but think this is a coincidence.

    Could be you're experiencing the same?

    *I already have it in a toe I broke, playing football, so have an idea of what the symptoms are

  • 32 - though it seems very much cause and effect here, probably dug out and shifted about 1.5t of material, carried back and forth to the skip/bulk bag in one long day
