Carrying such a large weight on your back (65 &#8211; 70lb \/ 29-31kg) for such a long time takes a toll, my shoulder which has been giving me trouble since Glasgow was getting progressively worse and frankly I couldn&#8217;t take the pain anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was given some advice at Warrington hospital, mainly &#8211; rest and anti-inflammatories.
