I'm half joking. But as a 30-something who used to be very active, I recognize I'm over the hill and my joints sound like pop rocks

It's not moving at all or moving way too much (and in the wrong ways) that causes the problems, per physio people I've heard from.

Turns out I have extra bendy joints and it was only a matter of time before I injured myself.

Yeah, I dislocated my knee in high school, couldn't afford to go to a doctor, haven't been able to walk right since.

Thankfully I was injured at work and everything was paid for, because even in Canada, I'm not getting that physiotherapy for free.

Never mind! Hypermobility is a whole other thing. I'm sorry that you have to deal with that.
