One?
I’ve collected 4 of 5 so far. I almost have a complete set.
Much like pokemon, this is just the first generation of body betrayal.
I was thinking more of a crippled exodia
My knee began hurting in my twenties after a fall. I went to my GP who told me it was just a sprain and to exercise. The pain never really went away, and then one day in my late forties the dog yanked me on his leash to try and chase a cat and it popped in a funny way, and I saw an orthopedic surgeon who told me I should have had surgery in my twenties to correct a malaligned kneecap, and that now it was too late and I would be prone to medial collateral ligament injuries like the one I currently had. I’ve done a bunch of physio but I still avoid stairs because it’s one surefire way it’s going to aggravate my injury.
Just another example of doctors not taking women’s complaints seriously. A referral to Ortho would have taken five minutes of his time.
If it makes you feel any better, doctors also don’t take men’s complaints seriously.
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.
TIL that Psyduck was at least 30 years old when he was first introduced, I guess 🤷
I would like to see a cartoon of comic of a relationship between a gardevoir and a hatterene trying to keep their payduck stable. According to their Pokédex entries gardevoir will find people with strong emotions and try to help and console them, meanwhile hatterene will also find them but will instead violently silence them
One
God, I wish.
Gotta catch em all!
By your late 40s you get to collect the entire set!
It’s easier to say where my body doesn’t hurt at this point. I guess my hands are ok. Well no scratch that the bastards dry up in winter and resemble bleeding salt flats… fuck.
Oh, God, that’s the worst. They’re dry AF in the summer, too, but when winter hits, if I don’t keep applying lotion every 7 and a half minutes like Cassandra from Doctor Who, then I just leave little snail trails of blood on everything I touch!
The excessive use of lotion is probably what’s doing it. Your skin stopped making it’s own protective oils. What you’re experiencing is not normal.
I know, but I’m in a shitty cycle. It started when I was about 15, I’m 32 now. It’s just been a constant battle. I don’t know what originally caused it, but when I was a teen my hands just got super dry painful. I dealt with it for weeks, and then started using lotion. Have been using it ever since.
Not to brag, but I’m 40 and have none of these, it’s surprising and a bit depressing to me that so many people have these ailments at such an early age. I wish you as many pain free and healthful years as possible.
I wish me a speedy death.
My knee has been screwed up since birth and somedays I can’t walk on it. My lower back was destroyed when I was 10 because some idiot didn’t follow simple instructions. I have constant headaches because of a glasses prescription that I can’t afford to get changed. I have arthritis in my feet. I own 3 canes. I am 31.
Pretty much the only pain I don’t have is hip pain.
I am not one to blindly believe that life is inherently sacred without the context of death. If this is what you want, and considering your physical ailments, I can only assume I have the smallest of understandings as to why you desire it to all end. And I can only hope you find some peace in one form or another. I’m… well, at a loss at how I can express sympathy. I hope you can find some solace, though.
I know, right? I’m 30 and only have a slight knee discomfort because I lifted heavy on squats for a long time before changing to a lower weight higher rep regimen. I hear so many people complaining about having issues and unless it’s from an injury I just imagine it’s because lemmy self selects for the chronically online (and usually unhealthy as fuck.)
Nice of you to assume that everybody here is chronically online and unhealthy unlike you.
I’ve had arthritis since I was like 24 or 25. It really does suck… I miss the days when I didn’t hurt constantly.
I really am so sorry to hear about that. Even though I suffer none of these ailments myself, I’ve witnessed my elderly parents and friends (yes, I have elderly friends) go through coping with this negative permanent change to their day to day existence, and it is heartbreaking. It is an experience I can only logically expect to one day viscerally experience myself.
I wish I could offer you more than sympathy, truly. I hope you can find some peace and joy in the probably brief reprieves from your sufferings.
Thankfully medicine gets better every day! It’s not great, but it isn’t terrible. It’s just kind of “this sucks” rather than “I hate my life”.
Thank you for your kind thoughts! 😊
Where’s my shoulder pain at?
Nvm i know exactly where it is…in the right shoulder.
For now.
You a desk jockey? I used to get it in my left shoulder until I got a really nice split keyboard with a built in trackpad. Best money I ever spent.
Nah just a result of physically demanding jobs and a nasty shower mishap on top of that.
I got my first one of these when I was 21 and in the best shape of my life. Accidents, injuries, and unpreventable diseases happen, and acting like your comparative good luck means you’ve made better choices than those who have been less lucky by implying they’ve been “unhealthy as hell” is kind of gross.
I’m a massage therapist, my job is literally helping people’s pain and I see a fuck ton of clients. Luck has just shit to do with it and most people just don’t take as good care of themselves as they think. The vast majority of bad backs I see could be prevented or alleviated by having stronger abs and glutes.
Dudes with Hank Hill ass telling me they don’t know why their back hurts make me want to scream.
I have all of them. Am I more 30 than others people?
You’re a midlife Thanos.
What do you mean one?
I hate stereotypes like this. I have all of these, and you’re not going to make me pigeon hole myself into choosing one!
When you turn 40, it’s 2 of those.
