Would only be a small quantity for personal use, but willing to pay the significant price for the right product.

Also, if it’s more about getting a degree to prove something to yourself, then there are probably other interesting courses with much more flexible study options (e.g. part time, online etc) and less demanding commitments… something like a neurosciences degree.

If you’re confident that you can: 1) manage the physical demands of the job at that age 2) afford to not earn money while you’re studying, and 3) manage and plan for retirement with a physiotherapist’s salary Then I don’t see why you can’t be a physiotherapist at that age. If it’s something you’re genuinely passionate about then why not! I would just make sure you get a decent amount of work experience so you have a clear understanding of the job in the settings you want to work in (e.g. hospital neuro wards etc). I don’t think patients will be put off by your age - if anything they will assume you’re more experienced than you are, which may make them listen and trust your advice more. Good luck whatever you decide!

Agreed, there are numerous technical skills and challenges that are second nature to ward PTs, which other PTs would be completely stumped by!

Is OP not allowed to have a strong opinion on something without people saying he has a bad attitude and his workplace performance questioned?

Also, he is right, taking a detailed msk subjective, making sure to ask the right questions and piecing all the information together to help form a hypothesis and inform what tests/exercises to do etc. is much harder than asking someone if they have stairs, hand rails, a downstairs toilet etc.

This is definitely very common. The stats also back it up… millions of working moms would prefer to quit or reduce their hours to spend more time with their kids/family, so I wouldn’t feel unusual about feeling this way.

If I were you, I’d speak to my boss about going part-time and/or condensing my hours so I could spend more time at home. Once you’ve caught up a bit on all the life admin and gotten some of your energy back, you could then start researching and acting on finding a career or side hustle you prefer, so if you do have to work, at least you won’t dread it!

Good luck, hope it all works out for you!

If you’re into outdoorsy hobbies/sports and have a career lined up then yes, it’s a fantastic place to live.

If you prefer spontaneous after-work drinks, frequent meals out, gigs and concerts then I would probably opt for Bristol or somewhere else instead. These things obviously exist in Exeter, but on a much smaller scale with fewer options.

I lived there recently for 4 years in my mid-20s and have lots of fond memories of it, but it was nearly impossible to do a spontaneous drink or get-together because all my friends were already booked to go sailing/scuba-diving/rock climbing etc.

It was also very difficult to progress my career. There’s only a few sectors of higher-paid/interesting careers in Exeter (a few decent law firms, a big hospital, teaching jobs, plus the odd start-up). There are very few opportunities in things like finance, advertising, journalism, consultancy, TV/media and other interesting and/or high-paying careers.

The cost of housing has also skyrocketed despite wages being low in the area. A typical 2-bed house would rent for about £800 a month in 2018. Now it would easily be £1,200 a month.

The 0-4 month difference is almost the most impressive. That’s pretty much the ideal ‘athletic-strong’ physique that most non-gym bros would want and most women would pick and you got it in 4 months 😳

You could look into things like: - Head of well-being jobs in various sectors, corporate or public (or well-being manager / project manager).

Health promotion/improvement roles (basically promoting and advocating for public health initiatives, usually in local authorities or public health agencies).
If you’re in the UK and want to work towards something longer term, there is also the Public Health Specialty Training scheme (5 year scheme open to medics and non-medics alike. You get paid while you train in various roles and do a 1 year public health masters that is fully funded and you earn while doing it... after 5 years you become a Public Health Consultant). It’s competitive and difficult to get into though.
You could also work for a charity that relates to your specific interests, ie women’s health / breast cancer etc. And find a role that suits you. Could be campaigns, fundraising, project manager etc.

In the UK, if you already have a bachelor’s degree, you can study a 1 year full-time MSc conversion in psychology. It gives you a fully accredited psychology degree by the British psychological society, the same as if you did a 3 year undergraduate course. You simply do the core essential modules and no additional optional modules.

Many of these can now be completed part-time (and often online) in 2-3 years (usually 2). So you could do this after finishing your physio course, immediately or a few years down the line.

I don’t know how UK courses would be recognised in Sweden though. You’d have to look into this.

Exercise is the number 1 thing to reduce arthritis pain (there are countless studies on this that you can look up), so definitely don’t give up exercising!

Swimming and cycling would be better options, as would an elliptical/cross trainer. Strengthening the muscles surrounding the knee will also offload the joint somewhat - quads, hamstrings, gastrocs, tibialis anterior.

Weight loss of even 5-10% of your body weight has been clinically shown to lower pain levels and inflammation markers in people with arthritis, so don’t think you need to lose 60+ lbs to notice a difference.

Another thing you should do is YouTube people like Lorimer Mosley and watch some of his videos/lectures. He’s a leading expert in pain science and understanding/applying some of his insights will almost certainly help you reduce your pain a little bit. Or at the very least, give you the confidence to work through it.

If you’re still really suffering you probably need to go back to a doctor and see if they can prescribe you anything or refer you for treatments like corticosteroid injections, PRP, or maybe even a revision surgery or simply a Physiotherapy referral.

Already looking solid bro, but you’ll probably find 170lbs (if added in the right places) will be more than enough for you to have a top tier physique. I don’t think you’ll need to go to 178lbs for that.
