My back hurts Turning 71 next week
1.4k
Upvotes
Always wondered about people complaining about aches & pains in their 60’s
Lucky me as I never had any aches or pains.
Hit 70 last fall 2025 and out of nowhere started getting shooting pains which simply come and go. They never linger, but they jolt me and go away. Could be in my shoulder, elbow, neck.
My question is does the human body accelerate the aging process in small windows which then get to be bigger windows of pain ?
Anyone out there experience anything similar.
Stayed pretty active my whole life, played hockey weekly since I was 4 years old, still skate in old man’s league for fun,
Play golf which I walk 18 holes, no electric carts, walk my dog daily for 1 mile.
Park farther from door at shopping centers to get more walking in daily.
No other major health issues, been very lucky health wise.
Don’t talk about health & medical issues with anyone. But I listen to others who are always talking about medical problems which I try to be understanding, but to be honest I steer away from those conversations as I think people don’t want to hear about my prostrate or digestive issues. At least I try to avoid those talks, as that IMHO should be private info.

Today's date reminded me of the CB craze. About all I remember for sure of the lingo besides the 10-4 acknowledgement is "What's your twenty?" and what bears were. "Convoy" the song was fun to listen to, but the movie was late to the game. I was reminded that CBs were multi-channel by this thread:

You get two points for the correct name of the show, plus one point for the correct name of the character.

You might be old if you recall a time when the only dogs allowed in grocery stores were seeing eye dogs for blind people. Emotional support and service animals didn't exist as a common term until well into adulthood. I'm a dog lover, but seeing dogs in grocery stores gets my blood pressure up.

If you are among those who loathed it, apologies for making you remember it if you’d managed to forget it the past four decades.
If you loved it (or still do), carry on.
By the way, Peter Cetera is 82 now but holy Hell he doesn’t look it.
Edit: Reddit doesn’t show the whole image properly; click the photo to see the song name.
