Hi Greg,
34 years working in very heavy industry, often in confined spaces does nothing for your body. It catches up eventually. I have problems with my neck, knees and right ankle. But my major problem is the condition of my lower back. I have disc's sticking out the left side of my spine, my CAT scans look just great.
Astronomy helps me greatly. When I finished on the mines and started my degree I just immersed myself in it, ignoring everything else, I still do. I find that while I am so involved in what I am doing I feel better about myself and have less time to worry about the bits that don't work so well any more.
You could say I use astronomy for pain relief.
Regards
Trevor
