Inflammation of the tendon that runs down the forearm, through the wrist to the thumb is common because of the way fly fishing gear is used.
Neuromuscular massage can help loosen the over-used muscles that trap the tendons and nerves within a small space causing the pain.
Before you cast again, put your thumb pain to rest.

If the scale causes dismay, ignore it. Take 3 simple measurements: around your chest, the smallest portion of your waist, and around a thigh.
Write them down, and don’t look at them again for 30 days when you measure again.
A small mental note that you would like to be thinner and in better shape will help you make good choices between measurements.

Once the temperature warms up, spring snowfalls can be heavily saturated with water so even a light snowfall may be heavier than a mid-winter snow.
Take care not to fill the shovel all the way as it may be much heavier to lift than you expect.
Unexpected weight matched with too little lift can cause sudden contraction of unprepared back muscles which causes strain.

Walking is one of the best forms of exercise and it doesn’t require any special equipment, just a willingness to get up and go.
If you haven’t walked in awhile, go until you feel the first signs of fatigue and turn around.
Go a bit farther each day afterward. If you can walk just everyday for 30 days, you will have developed a habit of walking.
A pedometer will measure the distance you walk and count the number of steps you take each day. Aim for 100 more tomorrow than you took today until you can regularly take 10,000 steps a day.
