    I didn’t feel like that at all when I turned 30, but I also worked out and ate healthy. It’s only within the past two years I have started feeling like shit (in my mid 30s now) and ironically, I have both eaten like shit and not exercised at all within that period as well due to intense work pressure and stress.

    Mind your diet and get back into an exercise routine. Doesn’t have to be something crazy. My spouse and I have started going on long walks and we have substituted our diet with healthier alternatives and the results have been very quick despite us only having been at it for about 2 weeks at this point.

    We sleep better at night, we feel more energized. I generally feel my body is growing stronger, my skin is clearing up, my anxiety is slowly lessening, the aches and pains I feel now are far more related to exhaustion from walking than the pain of not moving my extremities enough.

    In six months time, I hope most of the daily aches I have dealt with the last few years will be gone. Some will probably stick around because aging is happening, but no need to feel like 90 when you’re not even 40 yet.

    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.

    I’m 31 now and I woke up a few days ago with a painful left ankle joint. Didn’t do anything wrong with it, just woke up like that. Now walking hurts. Went to the doctor, she said structurally everything is fine and it could have to do with the shape of my feet, that that joint and tendons overcompensate and I finally started feeling that. Now I need to get insoles to compensate.

    I hope the worst pain will pass soon, I’m taking it easy but it kinda sucks.
