Same here. I just roll around doing basic stuff until I feel loose and confident, and then I’m ready to push it.
@KeithBeef knows about my warm up routine. It is so epic that I rarely finish it 
I saw a physio last summer due to sciatica which came out of nowhere - 5 minutes into a session and I was done and doing the funny walk of shame back to my car. It took two months to recover and no skating was prescribed all summer. Took a long time to get back. I do get quite a few of these odd cramps and most of the time they’re worst first thing in the morning and when initially stepping on my board, gently ease myself into the session and they mostly go.
Had to ice my knee earlier, it was feeling a little rough, but I expect thats in line with age and I did take a couple of knocks last night.

Google threw at me ‘heat or ice it’ and ‘rest it and continue your normal activities/sports’.
Come on internet, which is it

My shoulder is still fucked. Unsure whether to go hospital
You can wait ages in A&E. If it’s not an emergency right now I’d do an econsult on the GP app. You describe your symptoms and upload a photo if it helps, and then a doctor calls you back either to make an appointment or to give advice.
Yer was at the doctors last week getting carpal tunnel diagnosis. They didn’t seem to give much of shit
I think that’s the new thing…I went in with tennis elbow, had it before years back and resolved by roid injections. This time - see how it goes and come back in x weeks. CBA. It is still really painful…May book an appointment when I get back from holiday.
Yer I’m getting injections in my hands in a few weeks.
Been just over a year since I hurt my foot, getting an mri end of sept to see what’s actually wrong 
At xsite right now and it’s fucking knackering just rolling around, been playing a lot of footy at the mo and running a bit but need to build some skate fitness back up as well. Best way is by skating loads of course but unfortunately that hurts, what else would people suggest?
Swimming? Low impact.

I was playing loads of football and feeling pretty good then took two elbows to back of head start of November playing Sunday League.
Thought it was a mild concussion at first as didn’t get knocked out but still feeling the effects nearly five weeks later. Spoke to doctors the other day and said it’s post concussion syndrome, doing my head in (literally) as sleeps fucked and I just feel sick all day everyday with a banging headache, very annoying!
Got an mri on my ankle in a few weeks thankfully so will finally find out what the fuck I’ve done to that

Swear to god that even when I was still skating a lot people I knew who played 5 a side etc. used to get more banged up than I did.
Ankles are a real problem for a lot of skaters.
I’ve had ligament surgery on one of mine, and one of the staff I talk to at the Selfridges bowl is going in for the same thing in a few weeks.
Despite the surgery, mine still flares up unexpectedly and I end up limping for days. And then it will be fine for a few weeks.
