    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

      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.

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

    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.
