Its not age as much as your weight.

I can always tell when I'm gaining weight because my knees will start hurting.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 52 points 1 month ago

Not just weight. It’s lack of exercise. I’m 41 and my knees and back are fine even after a stint in the army. Gotta keep using those muscles and joints if you want to use them when you’re older.

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

My knees and back were significantly damaged by the Army and I got out when I was 21.

I recently got a balance board and it has really done a number on my ankles, legs, and core strength.

It is insane how degraded your ancillary muscles get from a sedentary lifestyle

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is also a really good full body workout

Full body workout, yes, but also a really good stretch when you want to let the other guy have his fun.

Went to the gym / dojo for the first time in months yesterday

And now i have a bruise on my leg from holding onto lockdown for dear life

One of previous jobs worked me so hard my leg hurts when a storm is coming. This happened in my early 20s

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

And you are mid twenties now?

[-] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Only 27 but I exercise daily and have had no issue except for my wrists which is a hereditary thing from my moms side.

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

My knees are in this comment and they don't like it.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

losing weight (safely) helps a lot! my legs built up strength to carry weight that it no longer has 😎

[-] Feddinat0r@feddit.org 40 points 1 month ago

As a millenial almost 40.... Its not that bad if you do something daily, some yoga everyday can be enough

[-] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

I'm at the stage where if I sit around too much it starts to hurt, but if I make healthy choices and exercise everything is still fine. It's like my body requires healthy choices. Wasn't like that before.

[-] Graphy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Same and some days I’ll go “I’m staying in bed all day today and not leaving for shit”

I’ll order a pizza and get comfy then regret it later that night when I’m sore as shit and have bad reflux

[-] Feddinat0r@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

Like your body wasnt maintained ok all the time but now he says: Look at me, i am the demander of maintanence now

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I'm 40 and pretty much everything about my body feels better than 10 years ago.

[-] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Zoomer here, how do I claim my knees' warranty? They've started hurting AT LEAST a decade too soon.

[-] mitchty@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago

I asked my oem if I could get replacement parts. Needless to say my mom said my model wasn’t getting built anymore and to not treat things like I stole it.

[-] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

I'm 23 and I'm already feeling it. Gotta stop sitting at a desk all day

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Desk jobs are more prone to injury than manual labor jobs. Be active outside of work, especially stretching and calisthenics.

[-] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I’m in my early 20s and I got arthritis (yaaay) but for any soreness CBD oils are a god send

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Gen X and Boomers looking at Millennials… “I wish my knees and back were in that good of shape.”

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I hesitate to say this out loud, but mid-50s and nothing hurts yet, except the migraines I've gotten since teenage years.

Knees last if you take care of them. Back lasts if you take care of it and are lucky, and don't get fat, and are lucky, and don't work a physical job, and are lucky.

Stretch. Exercise. Don't overeat.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Don't overeat should be first imo

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The more active you are, the greater the likelihood that you'll sustain serious injuries at some point. Those injuries go on to become chronic pain as you get older. I was very athletic and very active when I was younger, and I feel it now. I'm still active, and staying active helps those old injuries to hurt less, but they still always hurt.

[-] dafo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You mean me doing karate 3 times a week which has given me a cracked rib, a herniated disc and countless of bruises and minor injuries might leave me with chronic pain? I don't believe you!

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Heh, coincidentally, many of my injuries are from Kung Fu. Many more are from riding dirt bikes, and the rest are from recklessness or just plain accidents. Surprisingly I have no lasting injuries from soccer, baseball, football, track, cross-country, rock climbing, or outdoorsmanship. I guess organized sports are a little safer than more extreme sports.

If he had mistimed that, we would have seen a VERY different ending here, delivered as it would have been to/from the man in the muscle t-shirt 👕.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That's probably at least a distance of five to six feet. And not even in front of him.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 4 points 1 month ago

Okay it looked more like 3, but still you can imagine the joke as if it were funny 🤣.
