After this brief interaction with you i have zero doubt that I'm more intelligent than the guy who feels the need to constantly tell everyone how smart he is

Similar to another poster above, I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease around 30 including one disc that had completely disintegrated. For a long time, I was on what felt like 80 medicines just to function on a day-to-day without pain.

While it'll never be "fixed" without fusion or prosthetic disc replacement surgery, I made significant improvements in dealing with the pain after I lost a good amount of weight, started running 3 miles daily, and started working on my core strength through BJJ and Judo. The ability to manage the pain has improved so much that I was able to get off of all daily medications.

That being said, I'm 39 now and I've noticed that small injuries start popping up a lot more frequently and the recovery time from injuries has started taking much longer. A rolled ankle or tweaked knee might take 4 weeks to fully feel back to normal rather than 1. Can't imagine it's going to get much better from here, but hey, that's life I guess.

I weigh 160#.
not as lean as I once was, but nowhere near being "fat AF"

how the hell are so many on here broken down before 60? hell even 50?




didn't say we were broken down.
said you get to an age where you don't heal as fast as a young does.
and old injuries come back to tell you hello.

it happens to literally everyone except a handful of Greek Gods posting on the OT.

Happens to professional athletes who are up near the peak in human physique with the best doctors, nutritionists, and raining available to man.
Happens to fat fricks.
Happens to people that fall all over the spectrum in between those two.

And it starts happening in roughly the same age group.

Happens sooner and faster for some than it does others, but it somewhere in that range for almost all of us.

In my opinion, as soon as you reduce your activity level, your body begins to fall apart.
This 100%. Because injuries take longer to heal as you age, people use them as an excuse to quit doing things (like playing basketball, lifting weights, moving furniture, etc.), which leaves them far more prone to other issues due to inactivity than it would if they had just powered through the recovery and kept doing what they were before.

of course but we are talking about something totally different

if "everything just starts hurting on your body" like the OP stated....then you either have been dumb AF in younger years and wrecked your body or you are a fat arse.

little aches and pain here and there is not the same as the OP talked about or what many in the thread were talking about.

mainly because by 40 many havent worked out in over a decade or they have hormone issues

yea im so wrong, yet the obesity rate for males between 35 and 50 years old is 46.4% in Louisiana

how dare i assume most are obese when half of males that fall into the age group that post.....are obese.

what a terrible assumption

well I didn't take his post to literally mean "everything"

and took it more to mean

so I'll agree if literally everything is hurting, then they definitely have some underlying issue there and not just age.


but if it's just achey joints and stuff, then that's pretty much normal.
and an old injury that wasn't treated right when younger will definitely be a problem when older too.

people in my age range (creeping into upper 40s) almost all have those types of injuries, because back then we were told to fight through a lot of shite that probably needed a lot more attention than we gave it.

Most injuries were just treated with R.I.C.E.
Except coaches tended to skimp a lot on the R, C, & the E parts of that equation.
Ice and Tape fixed everything

Is it that, or is it because, generally, they’ve been fat and lazy going on 3 decades?

an improperly treated old injury can and will cause issues for most people.
not just the fat and lazy ones.

A sprained ankle in 1992 isn’t the reason your shite hurts in 2025 when you’ve been 60lbs overweight forever

Can't really relate to post. I've always hit the weights and hit them hard but never got stupid with them. Always backed off when my body or a joint told me to.

Now I do have calcium deposits in my shoulder doc is treating. I can work through it though and only noticed on chest day.
