Anyone else jack themselves up detailing their pride and joy? Mid-July while making my Road Rocket shine, I stood up from a seated position and was on the receiving end of an ungodly pain in the knee. Wound up kissing pavement, didn't go away so saw the doctor. Friday past....now convalescing with my Golden Nurse....this sucks.

Rest up. For me it’s the 60 yr.old hips (most likely due to still playing beer league ice hockey year round)
 
As I get closer to 50 I get aches and pains that seemingly come from out of nowhere. Lately it's this calf tightness, sucks being shorter when reaching for stuff at work, always use the roller ball filled with medicine in it. Then in the winter time the sciatica kicks in, or something like that because I walk an 1/8 of mile into work and when its snowy and/or icy I tense up. I've woke up and my torso is crooked and it feels like there's a dagger stuck into the top of my butt. My wife keeps those medicated sticky pads for that and ofcoarse a hot bath does wonders too, ahhhh the joys of getting older.

It's amazing how fast you fall apart after 50....🤣 (I'm 61)

Ouch! Came out of unscathed, but awhile back I washing the Escape. Once the driveway ends, there is grass on both sides. Grabbed my Griots wash bucket to move it, next thing I knew I was on the ground. Slipped on the wet grass. Broke the bucket handle. But I was ok. I was lucky. Get well soon!

True.
I had sepsis in my left elbow about five years ago. It was bad enough that they had to remove the infected tissue. Took over two years to get the strength and mobility back in that arm. I still get tendonitis it that elbow about one per year.
That and still having a job that sometimes requires me to handle construction materials around. To quote Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon: "I'm too old for this s**t."

At first I thought the question was about jacking up the vehicle while working. Suppose that could still apply. I just bought a much better detailing chair (one with a back) and I made some wood ramps from stacked 2x6 to use with oil changes. I am going to try them while detailing to see if that helps.

I have had back problems for years and years. About a year ago it got back and I had surgery to help with 2 disc bulges. While it helped, I noticed that I still have some issues. More so recently. I really think exercise is the way to ward off many of these issues. I'm convinced that strong/maintained muscles are the real secret to fending off a lot of these injuries. I noticed that many of my pains when away when I was walking on my treadmill (I walk with a % of an incline).
 
I’m 46 and I always hurt after detailing. Horrible back (bulging disks) and one weird knee will do that. Can’t wait for 50!

Hope ur feeling better. Get well soon.

After 20 years in business, 2 back fusions, shoulder surgery and elbow surgery. Get better soon!
 
So true...all of this. After 50 the deterioration accelerates. I'll spare the laundry list problems but God willing I can still detail...at least on an enthusiast level.
 
My old back and old shoulders bother me after a full detailing session with complete paint correction. I recently tore my ACL in my right knee and decided against surgery. I have been doing physical therapy twice a week and it has worked wonders. I still have trouble squatting down to work on wheels but I use the speed cart. Fellow forum members gave me great advice. That is to let your body heal and then slowly get back into the detailing routine.
 
Holy hell, that sucks! As we age, it's no wonder that we step off a curb, and have bad issues with joints being damaged.

Wish you the best, that all gets better soon, with a total re-healing.
 
I find it strange that I now wake up with (or develop during the course of the day) a freak pain in the knee, elbow, neck, etc. that will magically be gone that night or the next day.

Is it a precursor? Omen?

I'll be 50 in March. Seems like I was 25 about a week ago. Where did the time go?? Lol

Bulging disks always brings me back to steve levy's slip up on sportscenter...when I was younger I had lesions on my spinal cord so I am sympathetic for all with back problems..everyone take care of that back
