I played rugby for 12 years and at the age of 43 I am really feeling the pain of old injuries. My wrists, knees and lower neck are all bad. I've had 3 operations in the past 8 years in a attempt to repair the damage, with little luck. My hearing is busted from to many knocks to the noggin and I've got a permanent "zoom" sound to accompany it.
And I only played during my years at school.
