50s. Getting back to one’s 30s you’re still old enough for people to take you seriously, but the creaking bones and exhaustion hasn’t really started creeping in yet.

the creaking bones and exhaustion hasn’t really started creeping in yet.

Uhhh about that

[-] Savaran@lemmy.world 30 points 9 months ago

Well, just saying, what creaking bones I had in my 30s don’t even rate in comparison now

[-] SteefLem@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Wife and i were talking about that yesterday. I turned 50 last year and its like my body just decided that everything should brake down all at once.

I said the same thing once I hit 30... I threw my back out once when I sneezed and was like whelp I'm basically almost dead now

[-] SteefLem@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Ha yeah had that not with a sneeze but i made a mistake by taking a drink from the fridge, and there it went. Dumb thing is i can carry “heavy” stuff and be fine but i look at a sock wrong and my backs out and walk like a duck for a week.

Start doing morning stretches, drink more water, and avoid caffeine after 5pm

"Avoid caffeine after 5pm"

Eh, that’s a mitigating circumstance.

Ugh I turn 30 today, I've had a bum knee for like 15 years and now the arthritis is starting in my thumbs 🙄

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 2 points 9 months ago

What on earth did you do at 15? Were you that guy that jumped off the 10 foot roof and landed legs locked in rainboots? :p

[-] bizzle@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

I threw a head high kick in a kung fu tournament and landed weird, it's never been the same. I probably tore something but I didn't go to the doctor on account of the fact I'm American, but I manage the pain pretty well with medical marijuana and walking barefoot, at least in the warmer months.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 2 points 9 months ago

Ooof, I'm sorry. :/
