    Its not age as much as your weight.

    I can always tell when I’m gaining weight because my knees will start hurting.

      I’m at the stage where if I sit around too much it starts to hurt, but if I make healthy choices and exercise everything is still fine. It’s like my body requires healthy choices. Wasn’t like that before.

        Same and some days I’ll go “I’m staying in bed all day today and not leaving for shit”

        I’ll order a pizza and get comfy then regret it later that night when I’m sore as shit and have bad reflux

      I asked my oem if I could get replacement parts. Needless to say my mom said my model wasn’t getting built anymore and to not treat things like I stole it.

    Gen X and Boomers looking at Millennials… “I wish my knees and back were in that good of shape.”

      Desk jobs are more prone to injury than manual labor jobs. Be active outside of work, especially stretching and calisthenics.

    I hesitate to say this out loud, but mid-50s and nothing hurts yet, except the migraines I’ve gotten since teenage years.

    Knees last if you take care of them. Back lasts if you take care of it and are lucky, and don’t get fat, and are lucky, and don’t work a physical job, and are lucky.

    Stretch. Exercise. Don’t overeat.

      The more active you are, the greater the likelihood that you’ll sustain serious injuries at some point. Those injuries go on to become chronic pain as you get older. I was very athletic and very active when I was younger, and I feel it now. I’m still active, and staying active helps those old injuries to hurt less, but they still always hurt.

        You mean me doing karate 3 times a week which has given me a cracked rib, a herniated disc and countless of bruises and minor injuries might leave me with chronic pain? I don’t believe you!

          Heh, coincidentally, many of my injuries are from Kung Fu. Many more are from riding dirt bikes, and the rest are from recklessness or just plain accidents. Surprisingly I have no lasting injuries from soccer, baseball, football, track, cross-country, rock climbing, or outdoorsmanship. I guess organized sports are a little safer than more extreme sports.
