    Its not age as much as your weight.

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

      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.

      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.

        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
