Got bad tennis elbow decades ago building a log house. Took a while (year?) to get it back in hand and still need to be a bit cautious.
Real world; at 67 I'm on the downhill slope. I have had lots of health/injury issues in my life. I vary up my work, generally limit "hard" work to about 5 hours a day. If I'm in the woods, a tank or so through the saw, then switch to splitting loading etc. for about an hour then go back to a saw, repeat. My trucks are smaller, I split the logs where I buck them, noodle crotches, roll big rounds to the vertical gas splitter on hard to split wood. Avoid heavy lifting as much as possible.
I'm damned lucky, a multi vitamin is my only regular med use. (so far)
Got a face cord of ash, hand split, hauled, and in the racks this morning before afternoon errands. Looks like about a cord of that tree is in the woods yet. Take care out there.
