Yeah, it was crazy, at 25 I could sprain my ankle and be right as rain the next day.
By 35, fucking up a joint was a couple day ordeal that required some painkillers.
By 50, nursing a tendon irritation for 2 weeks is not at all unusual. Having to wait on the painkillers for a few days just post injury to make sure I rest the injury properly is becoming more necessary.
I’m pretty sure you can fight all of this off with an exercise regiment and eating well. But, I haven’t done that for a very long time.
I mean, i remeber being 25 and skateboarding and falling and getting up like it’s nothing. At 30 or so i quit and just used my skateboard as a mode of transportation. Shit started to hurt and i was scared to just be in pain all the time. Now i’m 40 and after 4 or 5 years of being active, stretching, having a healthier lifestyle i feel better than ever before. It’s still way harder to bounce back from falls, but that’s to expect.
