Have now done two work days in a row (I am about to do 5) and it’s been tough. I havent had enough sleep – haven’t managed to get my head around being in bed by 7-8pm. I have been unloading heaps of pallets of heavy boxes and my arms are pretty sore. Have to move boxes that are wide and heavy (25-30kg’s) above my head to stack them on top of other boxes, so they are awkward too. So far back is great and legs are fine. My feet are still hating the steel cap boots but are starting to calm down slowly. I come home from work and do just about nothing as I’m so tired. Hope I get into a groove soon. On the upside I am enjoying the work (I love to be active).

I hope your employer is being responsible safety wise and not asking you to lift things incorrectly or above your capacity. An injured back is a nasty thing remember!

Yeah, they are good. You can ask someone to help you lift the boxes if you can’t lift them. It’s more soreness from so much lifting, not the weight. I am quite strong and can handle heavy lifting. I’m sure I will get used to it soon.
