Fucking hell this is true.
So is the two day hangovers, you just don't get better. You wake up with a hangover where you think if I eat and nap it will be gone. 10pm rolls around and you feel exactly the same as you did at 10am. Then you feel tired and run down on the second day. People tell me it gets even worse and I believe them now. Can't drink hazy IPA without living to regret it, but I do that all the time.
I have never been overweight and largely been in shape but on and off. Now I feel it so bad getting back into it. It isn't about pushing yourself as hard as you can without pulling a muscle. It is about carefully listening to your body and when your joints start feeling weird it's time to stop.
Don't fuck about with your knees people. Wish I didn't jump off shit as a kid, also wish I ate more for recovery.
Where the fuck is my stem cell injections we were promised 10 years ago!
You sound like you're either in your late 50's and/or haven't made your health a priority.
This isn't my experience and I'm almost 40.
Not the case.
Use to do a lot of sport had knee surgery at 21. As mentioned probably didn't eat enough, done a lot of on, off stop start stuff. Travelled the world. Switched activities. Was never overweight.
While I could have done more to improve my knees some people are just born with better knees than others and I've come to accept that. I don't have issues with my back or shoulders or neck or hands. I know people my age that do. It's just how it goes.
Lately I've been feeling my bones rattle around in my body like dice. Just a skeleton in a bag.
