The pain of getting older is still better than the alternative.

My grandmother told me not to get old. She said there’s no future in it.

To be fair, my elders gave me plenty of indications of the pain of getting older. The thing is, that I thought it would take longer to get old to feel the pain. Next thing I know, I'm 70 and playing the, what's going to hurt today game...

I’m 56 and have worked physical labor most of my life. I have days when I have to figure out what I did to have the pain I’m experiencing.

When you first roll out of bed, and it sounds like someone popping an entire roll of large-bubble bubble wrap between 2 pillows... 😖

I would laugh at this and his delivery, like I do most of his videos, but sadly this is too true to be funny. heh

In the days before I’ve literally been starfished through the air and slammed into various objects on multiple occasions, got up and walked it off with narry a mark to be seen. In the here and now I’ll bruise from a strong wind.

My hips hurt, my elbow hurts and being fat makes laying down hurt. Young people shouldn't creak; they are too young to creak.

Pain, it builds character. Now you know why older people have so much, character.

I'm 48 and absolutely beat my body working and playing hard. If you sneeze and that throws out your back for a week or wake up with swollen knees etc. Welcome to the club. I would gladly do it all over again. Sometimes, I get on my BMX and forget I'm old. My body reminds me.

That’s not only thing nightstands looks like your own personal pharmacy 😂😂😂

I can't camp out anymore. I need a bed. The pain in my back and hips and knees, well everywhere is to much to bear.

Sad part is I was told about this but disregarded it as a future reality for myself.

They didn’t warn us that hair would start growing out of our noses and ears too. That happened!😂😂

Absolutely true...I'm approaching 50...and years back when I could throw heavy steel around consequent free...not so much anymore...still do it....but hurts WAY more....enjoy your youth.

This man is my guide to life and fellow traveler.

The random pains are just great, aren’t they? I’m not much older than you, but I have the added joy of randomly falling down when walking because a knee has decided it no longer wishes to function. Well, it does do the bendy thing, so I suppose it does that function alright, but it forgets it has to do the holdy-up bit too. That day walking across the street from my truck to my parents’ house was fun. Crumpled heap in literally the middle of the road. Things for the younglings to look forward to.

😂😂😂 I wish this were really funny but it's 💯 percent true. Heaven forbid your a athlete in your youth and get injured 🤦‍♀️ that turns into a lifetime of ol' uncle Arthur, ARTHRITIS!

This is a big part of what the saying, “Aging is not for the faint of heart,” means. It definitely sucks.

Breaking wind the wrong way can be a bit painful, too.

Words of elder wisdom

After 30 years in the Army, everything hurts, all the time. It's a constant status check to let me know I'm not in a forever nap.

I manage to hurt myself while I’m asleep now. This a very exciting development.

When I wake up and nothing hurts, I do a little dance. Something or other soon passes the threshold.

May the Gods and Goddesses of Asgard be with you DBV

Facts.

The pain keeps me up all night most nights. But the pain lets me know I'm still alive. So I have this dart board sorta thing, and I throw a dart every night at bedtime. On the board are parts of the body. Right knee, right hip, right ankle, entire right leg, left hip, repeat from the right side, and my favorite, BOTH hips, knees, or entire legs. That plus the right shoulder, the so-called "Thoracic output" which kills my arm if it's not in exactly the right position, I will not go on. As a vet I figure you know all this but our crazy Uncle gave us all sorts of "benefits" for our service. So, yeah... pain.

I'm 43 and work construction every day. I also wear an 18lb tool rig every day all day. All I'm going to say is take care of yourself young.

I need to start taking baths in lidocaine. Everything hurts.

All life is pain these days for Gen X.

Is anyone else here an exception to this?? Genuine question..cos while I dont wanna sound like I'm just bigging myself up. I gotta say it.. I'm 47 and have spent 30 yrs doing 1 of the most physical jobs imaginable. And while I've no doubt it WILL catch up with me at some point,, I've experienced absolutely nothing of this so far... surely I can't be the only one???

Why did they not warn us about this. Everything aches

Usually when I am getting ready to go somewhere and I get ...The Cramp...I believe we all know what that means...your gonna be about 10-15 minutes late...

Mystery bruises are a thing.

I'm 51. I just had A M. R. I for my hip❤

I've been told a lot about getting old, and I flatter myself that I believe it more than my peers do. But I still know that I'm not in the least prepared.

So true!

In pain daily. Also have had bronchitis for 5 months.

Actually they did tell us. All the jars we opened, stuff we picked up they dropped, etc.

You know all those pharma commercials that talk about the rising risks of getting Shingles after the age 50? Yeah I turned 50 last week, less than a week later I have shingles. They are giving me a muscle ache all over my body like the last time I had the flu or c19. Happy effin bday... But yeah the neighborhood kids still knock on my door asking if I want to play some park football. Well boys... "I ain't as good as I once was, but I am good once as i ever was"

He's lucky that his pain started in his thirties, I was born with my mother's curved spine, so my pain started when I was 21. OMG, did that hurt when it decided to let me know it was staying for to long hall. Ugh.

At 51 an a veteran, my advice is to learn to enjoy the pain bec it let's you know you are alive.. #ENJOYTHESUCK

As someone told my husband: the only thing gold about the golden years is my pee! 😂

Transitioning to Valhalla🤭

I will make you feel better. Forty is hard. Fifty, Sixty... They all get easier because you finally realize you aren't thirty anymore and don't try to be.

I miss the days of vodka and vicodin... next month I get knee replacements...

Yep.

And this is why God invented the infused Gummi............ just remember moderation is the key.

Me lying here on bed, with my CPAP on, just nodding my head slowly so my neck don't crack. Hugs, but, not too tight because, ribs, spine popping ppppain. Oh lord don't make me laugh. I don't want to tinkle or have a back spasm.

Well, let's talk about that. I'm 51. I've had 5 knee surgeries, am I? Left want you on my right name. And they both were totally kenn replacement Then I was told like he joined a senior citizen at age 50. Get over to that one

HEY! HEY! HEY! I resemble those comments!!!! hehehehehehehehe

Worst thing is your legs falling asleep ,while sitting on the toilet . !

Getting into bed can cause you to twist a knee!

PREEACH!!!

Are we have fun ow

Wait until you get to be 73 or more. Lose a few pounds, walk daily, I do at least 12-15 weekly & move up north. When you walk in the cold and snow, it's like putting meat in the freezer. You don't age 8-)

Bupc?

They did warn us. We didn't listen. 😅

It doesn't get any better sorry!

So true 😂😂😂
