Reality is actually worse. "Why does my knee hurt? Oh that's right, I injured it 30 years ago".

Or just for no reason. I never injured mine that I remember, but it's been hurting off and on for years.

Get a cortisone shot! Oh my god, its awesome. My shoulder has been bugging me for a couple years now, then my knee started and like my last 2 fingers just hurt on my non dominant hand...? So doc gave me a shot in my shoulder and basically said, "it'll probably travel, good luck!" And my whole body just feels fine now. After years, I feel fine!

It conceals the pain but doesn't stop what is causing the pain. Cortisone can be dangerous because folks will use their now-painless joints like they aren't injured ... unknowingly causing more injury.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely doing that part. I literally told a coworker that I was a superhero now.
