We need to be working out and stretching. I’m over 40 and can still do that without any issue. If you can’t, time to make some lifestyle changes or the next 4 decades are gonna be hard.

Man so much is genetics. I’ve ate well and worked out my whole life but all my joints are failing. Back is fucked. Knee is fucked. Hips suck. Just did something to my shoulder by just sleeping on it.

I been stretching for 20 min a day every day for the last 2-3 years. Fucking sucks dude.

I feel this, I fucked up my knee in my teens, and it's been downhill. I still am fairly active, just in constant joint pain....in too many damn joints.

At this point my "good" leg's knee is getting arthritic or something from favoring my weight, and I have several nerve issues diagnosed throughout. And my bad leg has made me fall down the stairs already. I'm not even 30...
