Im talking physically, not mentally....
The past year or so, I feel like my joints have been on a down hill slide...
I play racquet ball and my knees hurt for a day or so
I jog, and my knee hurts for a couple days....
I sleep a certain way, and I wake up with a stiff back
I have this wicked tennis/gold elbow I have been trying to get rid of.
I feel most of this is from being active but, hell, its just making me feel like I am falling apart and I am only 31 :yikes:
I think a lot of it was being obese as a kid and playing sports but injuries always seemed to heal faster back then....
Anyhow, at what age did everyone else feel like they are old.....
By the way, I still think I can party like I'm 21 haha :drinkin:

I've had hip pain for decades literally... Popping/shooting pain...
ABout four years ago I started really paying attention and having my Ortho Dr. start checking...
I have had blood draws/MRI/xrays from every view/angle...
Ultimately the hip specialists have told me that my hips are GONE and that I need full replacements... I was told that at 50...
I bike and do low/no impact excercise/cardio (when I get to exercise)... Stair climber/bike ONLY for me, I won't run anymore...
My football injuries as running back are coming to roost (shoulders/fingers/elbows/knees/hips/feet)... My weight and diet are a HUGE factor to how good I feel, sugar/starchy carbs seem to be a major factor for inflammation...

At 17 I had a major knee injury and it completely halted any aspirations of pro sports.
That slowed me down but didn't stop me.
At 50 I blew out the other knee, so now I have two blown up knees. Slowed me for a month but then I just got back on the horse.
.
I play racketball with leg braces on 3 times a week and get worked over by a personal trainer once a week. I still think young but my body tells me otherwise when I first get going each day.

I have had a bad knee (cheerleading injury) and bad back (cheerleading injury) since high school. So, I still feel like I'm in high school. [emoji23]

I don't remember. Ha! I actually had a wicked go round with arthritis when I was 19. Ended up at Mayo and all they could do was rule out what it wasn't, which was all of the bad ones, like rhuematoid. It flares up on occasion, but on the bright side I've had a handicap parking sign for over 20 years now. :chopper:

Aside from looking in the mirror, after a few weeks off from my exercise programs (surgery, sick, etc) I start feeling old. Energy plummets, I can't sleep and everything starts to ache...
Keeping up with exercising, I feel like I'm 20. :thumbsUp:

I tried to throw my leg over my neighbors "stock height" HD Road King a few months ago, that was an EYE opener... :(

I had to think about the question for a minute. I'm 60, but to be honest with you, I don't "feel" old. I realize I'm not 18 anymore, I can see in the mirror that my hair has gone salt and pepper, a few more lines in my face, etc. But...all that withstanding, I've got good health, don't take any meds, I don't really "feel" old. I think being young at heart, or having a youthfull attitude, can be be more valuable in life than dreading another Birthday. It's when the Birthdays come to a stop that is the problem, isn't it?

At 35 things started aching more, especially because I started playing softball. Injuries at the gym started around 30.

It's quite possible I phrased the question a bit wrong....
Mentally I don't feel 1 bit over 21 and still feel I can wakeboard, snowboard, bodyboard etc etc....however I feel as if I am getting injured more the older I get.
The injury doesn't stop me just slows me down a bit and I don't want to slow down lol

I think old chicks, like me[emoji16], are way more fun!! We're not all insecure and confused anymore. 18 days and I turn 40!!! Whoop whoop!
When I was in my early to late 20's I always dated older men, 15-20 years older than me. My mother is 20 years older than me, it never bothered me.
I actually really enjoyed it much more than dating men my age. Older men just know how to treat a woman, they're kinder, more patient, confident, no drama, they know what they want and they go after. A mature man is not likely to waste time on something he knows isn't going any where. They think my silly, crazy stuff is cute, and giggle at it. They have a better sense of self, they're not intimidated...I could go one and on and on.
My favorite older guy actually had a daughter who was 6 years younger than me. She and I had a lot of fun together teasing him. He was so cool...had a bad ass custom Harley and a plane...those were some fun rides that's for sure. I haven't talked to him in 10 years...shit he's 60 now. Hmmmm maybe I should look him up. Men improve with age.

4 months ago I was training for a charity fight. Training 6 days a week and feeling really good. Was down to my weight in HS and was pretty much in the best shape of my life. One day at the gym sparring felt a little pop in my back....didn't think too much about it. Woke up at 2am that next morning and was completely incapacitated couldn't move or even get out of bed. Spent the next two weeks flat on my back. Got back to the gym a month later and was taking it easy. Doing some cardio and felt that "twinge". It's been 4 months of hell. Tons of visits to chiro. dR. Physical therapy. Mri soon. [emoji107]. I used to bounce right back from injuries. Not this one. This is definitely the oldest I have ever felt.

OMG! That sucks! What did you do? I tore muscles in my lower back when I was 20 and I couldn't move for a over a month. My muscles felt like they locked up. But, I didn't hear any pop. Do you know what the pop was from?

Most of my research has pointed towards no surgery as I have very little evidence on nerve damage. We will see in a couple months.

Ugh! That sucks, sorry you're in pain. I can imagine your frustrations. Are you on meds?
I had some neck muscle crap going on last year and no amount of meds helped. One night I took muscle relaxers and nothing...so started drinking wine just to see if it would help. Well, I got drunk but the pain didn't subside [emoji57]

I'm a walking pharmacy. It lessens the pain. But in in no way pain free. My work abilities have been extremely limited. Fortunately for me I'm good at selling. So I don't have to do the actual work. [emoji106]

I'm so sorry, that doesn't sound good at all. I hope your MRI helps find a way to alleviate the pain.
Good thing you're in sales. What do you sell?
Can you still boat? [emoji6]

Boating is a little rough. I'm usually in considerable more pain after a weekend boating. [emoji107]
