Yes, it’s a real pain. It’s probably a combination of things. An ultrasound revealed severe inflammation in my wrists, possibly related to rheumatism. I had problems with them two or three years ago due to overuse. I was working 11-hour shifts and had to carry and move heavy things (cast iron molds). It slowly got better, but now it seems to be coming back. Then there’s my darned left shoulder (not the one I had surgery on), which is incredibly painful and makes me immobile. I tore a biceps tendon there about 15 years ago. Did I overuse it when I had to rest my right shoulder last year? And then there’s my right knee, which has been a problem since 2000, but I’ve managed it well so far. Now everything seems to be happening at once, along with other things like shoulder and back pain. Sometimes my buttocks or groin hurt, and other days it might be somewhere else entirely. I’m pretty much at a loss right now. What definitely helps: anti-inflammatory painkillers. They’re good for managing the symptoms, but the point is to get to the root of the problem. Well, if it really is a titanium allergy, it should be getting much better by now, since the material has been out for six weeks. As if things weren’t bad enough, I had water damage in the warehouse on Tuesday evening. Luckily, I had the most important things on pallets and they stayed dry, but other heavy boxes were standing in water. And when you’re already injured and in pain, you don’t need that kind of crap on top of it. ---

Might be a dumb idea, but depending on how your mobility and strength are affected, would it be interesting considering an exoskeleton (well, of course, there’s the price)? > [@PAU Power Assisted Unicycling, Hypershell Mountain Exoskeleton](https://unicyclist.com/t/pau-power-assisted-unicycling-hypershell-mountain-exoskeleton/293354): > > Hi, Its been a couple of months since I bought the Hypershell Mountain Exoskeleton Pro X 1hp and started my PAU power assisted municycling adventures with E-legs. So thought it was time to do an update. I have made a few improvements, to the harness I added a, mobile phone mole, water bottle hose magnetic clips, water bottle mole, high visibility patches. See piccys below. The hypershell is more versatile if you a phone conected to the device and have the app running, but its not essential.

I had a big operation on both my feet and legs, last year, no riding for a whole year, that, took its toll on my legs muscles and they withered away. @ 58 I am finding regaining any leg strength a real challenge. Really I just cannot do the things I would like to, I just dont have the strength or stamina. My skills are ok, but any distance is now a real issue. So maybe for me, this would be a way I can keep on enjoying riding my collection of unes, and not ha… Especially @MadHatchetAndy’s posts.

@Raddreher @Canapin I upgrade my E-legs to the Hypershell X Carbon, 1.8kgs, 800watts pwr output, 1 horse pwr 3 D formed Carbon fibre legs, Titanium frame (it does not contact the skin anywhere). All weather Aquatex inner harness and leg straps. Uni app setting good to go. Prototype: Carbon Battery shield finished. Prototype: Flame and Heat retardent battery shield. Rated to 3000oF Ciip on harness and back pack ready Clip on Rugsack ready. All essential for a bit of muni or uni. My only concern, is the very powerful Lithium battery, getting a knock or damage, as this sits on your lower back. Either exploding or bursting into flames, Lithium burns very hot as therma runaway occurs. The fire and heat redardent pad is good for 20-25 seconds at 2800oF plenty time to get the exo off. @Raddreher send me a friend request on fb then you can view all my videos on the Exoskeleton and unicycling so far. It works very very well indeed. Now its perfect 👍😀 [Previous page](https://unicyclist.com/t/what-was-your-worst-unicycling-injury/119330.md?page=20)
