A few months ago, I began to get an ache in my leg. A creeping pain, like a spreading bruise, slowly working its way up the hamstrings towards the back. It was, I quickly realised, a symptom of what must surely be known as Writer's Leg. A variant on the more familiar Writer's Cramp - and occasionally to be associated with Writer's Block - it is caused by sitting down all day, getting up only to make a cup of tea.
It can only be combatted by moving around more regularly - particularly by making more cups of tea.
