Started in my mid 40s. Played basketball in a Sunday night league. When it took me all week to recover from 2 hours on a Sunday night I knew my basketball days were over.

It was at age 75, I developed arthritis in my neck and shoulder. It hurts like hell when I jump rope.
As was mentioned, it doesn't get any better.
It really impairs my ability to make turns at intersections while driving. Can't turn my head efficiently to check on coming traffic when making turns

College athlete.
Had labrum surgery last year in my right shoulder.
Now, tore the labrum in my left hip, so Ill be having another one early next year.
Starting to wonder if I should tone down the exercise...these 6 month recoveries suck dick.
Im not even 40.

No. I tore the labrum in my shoulder under 40 and rehabbed to enter a powerlifting competition ~ 2 years later (I averaged well over 25k pounds a morning in volume while training up. None of that broke me, a shopping bag did.) The weight bearing exercise is what keeps you "flexible" in your joints. You know how I tore my labrum? I had a bag over my shoulder with a 2L of soda in it that slid forward while I was carrying it into the office. I did not tear it actually benching.
Think about it, if you continue to do the big 3 (Squat, Bench, Deadlift,) when is your body going to complain about walking up a flight of stairs?
I had to get on a flight to LGA every week with that damn labrum pillow causing my arm to stick out in the aisle. Rehab with soup cans sucks, but it's recoverable.

I’ve actually had good luck with ankles/knees/hips/back.
Every two years so so for the past six years, I’ve messed up my shoulder, and it just takes forever to recover—probably 6 months for full recovery.
Not even rotator cuff (full) tears or anything (had a friend do a shoulder ultrasound and everything was intact). And it’s not an impingement syndrome or a labrum tear. Just weakness and pain. I’m guessing it’s just rotator cuff tendonitis.
The mechanism of injury was stupid shite like throwing a suitcase into the trunk of a rental car one handed (coffee in left hand, suitcase in right) and spiking a volleyball during a work league game.
In my 20’s I would could recover from this in 2-3 weeks. Now it takes 3-6 months.

Not 'consistent' joint pain, yet.
Around middle 50s.
Most of my joint pain is in my inner hip joint.
Talked to an Orthopedic Dr & he basically said it was a blood flow issue to my inner hip socket.
I occasionally take an Aleve if the pain gets too bad, which is every now and then.
But I do know I have a hip issue because I feel a tinge of pain when I flex my hip too much.
I have used glucosamine which is similar to what is in Osteo Bi-Flex & other similar products.
It has worked for me in the past.
Just be aware that glucosamine can increase your blood sugar levels. So take heed.
Also, do some stretching daily and get on some sort of stretching routine.

There are a lot of doctors that believe they can just tell you, "that's the way it is, just get used to it." I'm not assaulting your choice of doctor, but I'm very, very disturbed by a doctor telling any patient the equivalent of "just stop acting how you normally act, and it'll stop hurting."
If you had a blood flow issue to your hip, wouldn't your leg have fallen off due to bone death by now?
It sounds like a total BS excuse, which is how I got lidocaine shots for my shoulder for a year, not fixing the problem, and costing me 2 years of training. While it's not a perfect tool, if you search for ART or *good* chiropractors, they generally understand what you're trying to do in your real life, and try to get you back there. My Chiro (Jenna Reese, Katy, TX) and her magnificent staff know how to rehab a bruised Achilles, etc. The guy that repaired my labrum played 2 or 3 sports, and knew his job was not to fix my problem, but to get me back to where I expected. There is a huge difference.

Like avascular necrosis? Probably not unless you are on chronic corticosteroids, had a previous femoral neck fracture, or you’re a big boozer.

What vitamins do you take?

35ish. Last year I started taking creatine with glucosamine just as a daily dietary supplement. Weight train a little bit I’m not serious about it. Muscles feel strong, don’t have any more aches and pains. Feel like I’m 25 again. I don’t know why more people don’t take creatine just for a healthy body

I guess about mid 50’s
