    I don’t know what you youngsters are doing but my everything didn’t start to hurt until I passed 50.

      I’m 43 and rarely have aches (certainly nothing that would qualify as chronic), but I also regularly walk to and from the gym to weightlift. There’s a saying “Movement is Medicine” and so far it seems to be proving true for me. Maybe if you don’t use it you lose it.

      I’m a bigger, tall guy. 6’4", and in my mid 20’s 280+lbs. I was hired to deal with big heavy stuff. I’m no body builder by any means. Just larger framed. Still, often was hired to be a two legged horse. At the time I could do it. Now, I’m paying for it.
