paddlers of the world unite

As a group I feel we deserve some recognition in the medical field. For example there is Athelete`s foot, Tennis elbow and Swimers ear, all well known afflictions that we suffer from. I also know that many paddlers suffer from a myriad of minor and major ailments, but up to now we have no malady of our own. I appeal to all you out there in the kayak world to submit your suggestions for our own illness, something unique to the kayak community, and maybe we can persuade the powers that be to adopt and recognise our contribution to modern medicine.
