I'm in my 40s and I have experienced all of these at some point in my life but it's hardly part of my personality. Someone really observant might be able to tell I baby my left knee a bit and my right hip is often tight.
But geez none of these were issues at thirty. None are issues more than a few days a year now. Y'all need to take better care of yourselves.
I developed bunions (only on my left foot) at 29 =(
You should look into better footwear. Modern shoes cause bunions. Fashion is the culprit!
That was 13 years ago. And I was wearing comfortable work boots. Only happened in the left foot. Likely genetics.
I’m 40 and experience none of these. Y’all gotta workout and/or stretch some more.
Genetics plays a big role you know. Stretching isn't going to cure arthritis.
I guess if you have diseases then yes you might feel like a bag of smashed rocks at 40 which could understandably make your entire personality based on that diagnosis. However, people that don't have diseases and who take care of their bodies when they are younger tend to not feel like shit in old age. Most people do not have arthritis at 40.
I do like to strech, don't like to work out tho. Unless riding my bike a couple times a week counts. I'm 29 and the neck pain is unbareable sometimes. There is literally nothing I can do to prevent this. sits another 12 hours in front of his pc
That or it’s just zoomers being dumb about terminology. They call 30 year olds boomers, which is two generations off.
