Age has really been hitting me a bit lately. I know I know I’m not that old, I’ll be 33 next week, that’s not that old.
But I’ve been having some age issues lately. My hair is getting gray, I have to work harder to get loosened up to workout and most recently, I’d been having some weird headaches and issues with my eyes. Primary care physician thought maybe it was sinus pressure so we treated that or maybe it’s an inner ear thing.
She also recommended I have my eyes checked as I hadn’t in a while And I noticed playing golf the other day I had some issues. Always had good vision.
Welp, not anymore. Found out I need glasses now.
Not sure why it’s bothering me so much but it is [Reply]
When I was 25 I got tendinitis in my patellar tendon (don’t do that). So I go to the doctor because shits fucked up. I see this gal. She asks me all the general questions blah blah blah. Then she’s going to do the stability test for ACL. She puts her hand on my knee cap and gets this shocked look on her face and says, “Oh my Gosh, you have arthritis. You’re way too young for that.”
“Well, yeah. I figured. My knees hurt. But this isn’t that. This is different than normal pain. But while I’m here, is there anything I can do about the arthritis?”
“Well... you can take up to 2400 mg of Ibuprofen per day.”
Re: symptoms. You might go see a chiropractor. I Know there are some quack jobs out there, but if your neck is out, it could account for the headaches. There is a doctor out there that does spinal manipulation. Hamas Explained to me one time. But out where I’m at I have to go to a chiropractor for that function. [Reply]

Protip: don't get married.
I support what you are saying but easier said than done - to the staying single part. [Reply]
I'm 59, but in great shape.....I feel like I'm in my 30's. A shaved head also takes years off of you, so if you start losing your hair/getting gray, just shave it off. Trust me it's the right move :-) [Reply]

Osteopaths.
And do yourself a favor and don't take 2400mg of ibuprofen a day. Your kidneys and stomach will thank you. [Reply]
I'm mid 30's and I three weeks ago I tried to pull a tree out of the ground in my back yard and moved a rib out of place. It then started hurting my back and I've went to 5 chiropractic visits. I tried to golf a week after it happened and I had lost 50 yards on my drives. Still hurting a bit to this day although it is better.
Moral of the story, don't try to rip trees out of the ground. I forgot I don't do deadlifts or workout much anymore and am a huge piece of shit. [Reply]

I have some allergy induced asthma. I empathize.
Will you gain any of that back after chemo? [Reply]
Nothing wrong with getting older and hopefully wiser, something wrong with feeling worn out though. From time to time I acutely agree that youth is wasted on the young. [Reply]
How old do I have to be to participate in reverse mortgages? I'm not gonna live past 60 and my goal is to time running out of money exactly when I'm ready to take a dirt nap. [Reply]
