Thats what bothers me. They take longer and longer to heal. Three months? Ridiculous!!!Don't know yet. 80?
I've found that a lot of aches and pains that I worry about eventually go away. Both of my hips hurt for about a year and a half. I'm thinking damn, I'm too young to need hip replacement. Then I started paying attention to stretching. Gradually, over a period of about two or three months they became pain free. Same with my Achiles for a long period. Now it's a shoulder. Aches and pains, but they heal.
But I still maintain an un-frail vibe, I'm not afraid to jump down on my knees and grab a 32-pack of water from the back bottom shelf ya know. I've always had a slender build and I feel like I'm pretty mobile for a 170lb guy.
I'm still competing regularly with 18 year olds in soccer/spikeball at the age of 32. I've kept improving my athleticism since high school and I'm in pretty good sports shape. But my shoulders absolutely kill me... I also take multiple days to recover from a soccer match or spikeball tournament. Sometimes I'll pick up an ache that takes weeks to disappear. I had a soccer match a week and a half ago and I still have pain in my left heel. I can't even remember the play that it got hurt. Just noticed when i got out of the car at home that night.
So I can tell I'm getting older. I don't ever plan on feeling old though.
Yep was in the service and ran 15 miles every Monday and Wednesday and 18 to 20 miles on Friday.... over the 2 years at that station it took it's toll! I felt a slow down in life at 38, 44 and 46. Although at 46 I was diagnosed with diabetes type 1 so that had something to do with that it think. Now I'm 50 with a 2 and 4 year old and I feel old/slow every dayAfter you reach 40 even running will cause problems. Your joints dont last long if you keep running as you get older. Need to find other ways to exercise.
Do you mean type 2? Type 1 is childhood diabetes (or so I thought).Yep was in the service and ran 15 miles every Monday and Wednesday and 18 to 20 miles on Friday.... over the 2 years at that station it took it's toll!

No type 2 is normally from being overweight type one is because your pancreas stops making insulin. It can happen anytime in life but you are normally safe after 30… but I got it at late in life lucky me.Do you mean type 2? Type 1 is childhood diabetes (or so I thought).
Yes, only one you.YMMV
I've routinely dealt with 300-1500 lb objects at work (electrician) for years, gonna be 40 late next year. Osteoarthritis/bone spurs in my vertebrae, stenosis, numbness, tennis elbow, hands hurt quite often. Not sure if it was the chicken or the egg 1st, but heavy work made me a tank or genetics made me able to take on heavy work. My advice is don't do it, take care of yourself because you only get one 'you'.
