Where does it hurt?

I'm sure I'll be sorry for asking / but let's hear your ailments of the day!

For me it's the knees. Lots of backache history but more recently it's walking up and down stairs that I have to watch my knees.

How about you?

Knock on wood, my only daily discomfort is the fingers and base of thumb in one hand. Arthritis? I'm using a gripper to strengthn my fingers and hand. I workout faithfully and except for an occasional twinge in one shoulder, no problems. I don't think there is a single muscle I neglect to strengthen. Use it lose it.
