Well, hello @RichardsFRS .........
How about trying the "med approach" ..... the humfrz favorite ...... I suggest you take 2 large glucosamine and 2 aspirin in the morning with two large glasses of water. In the evening, take 2 glucosamine tablets and two large glasses of water. See if that helps. After a week of doing that, report back, if your symptoms haven't gone away. Humfrz |

Actually the glucosamine isn't a bad call

What if the patient had more sex? He already exercises. And the water consumption has already been suggested.

Not joking, the "I Can't Get In and Out of My Car" thread was just sad to read. Must be something in the psyche of us older guys that still are part of the "car scene" that also tends to keep us more prone to staying fit(ish) for our age. It also seems that there is a disproportionate number of us that are retried military which may also play into it. Either that or we just don't complain as much.

@RichardsFRS
Another option is to change the clutch master cylinder to a different one for more leverage/less effort. I forget smaller or bigger. You can also adjust the clutch so it grabs higher(or lower) so you only have to push the clutch pedal halfway to operate it. Is it the left or right side of the back of the knee? Sometimes if your toe is pointed too left or too right, it can cause problems on that side of the knee. Is your foot rested on the floor or in the air when depressing the clutch? Resting your foot on the ground could help. Also raising the seat so you are pushing down rather than forward may help. |
