How quick your body wears out. I'm only 41 and my body is already used up. It is going to be hell for 30yrs from now on.

47 and all is well. My take is it has to do with activity and such.

At least that’s what I observe in my peer group. Those who were in my running group in early 20s, and stuck to at least some level of activity are holding up well. Those who don’t have already experienced serious medical care for this and that.

Yup. Turning 40 next month. Was having some terrible headaches and neck pain. Low-impact cardio really helps with all of that. Also making sure you sleep well and have pillows that contour to your neck.

The secret is to keep moving. Lift heavy things and run slow and long. Use it or lose it.

[–] Fallenwout@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yea i know but i can't. I had 2 back surgeries. I also never could do cardio, it makes me vomit even when I was a kid. And since the last 5 years it gives me a migraine as well.

I used to lift weights because it is less cardio and had no problems with it. But then came the back problems and now I'm useless.

Eye sight deteriorates, tinnitus, broken back and wounds don't heal as fast as they used to. I hate getting old and obsolete.

Yep, if this is how painful 38 is, I don't think I want to know what 68 is going to look like without a bionic body.

Holy moly for real!

I slept wrong 6 days ago and my neck, right arm, and back are thoroughly hecked!

I've been struggling to do anything lol.

I'm gonna be one of those people with a non-functioning neck for sure.
