Kinda surprised by all the joint pain ITT, especially knees. Age alone doesn’t do this.
Knees are remarkably hard-wearing joints, capable of continued high mileage well into old age. I hope y’all are using those knees so you can keep using them for many years to come!
There’s this horrible thing they keep doing to me where I gotta have money to exist, and to get money I gotta sit (in a drivers seat) for like 8hrs at a time. It’s bullshit.
I’ve noticed the patients we are doing knee replacements on have gotten younger. Never really saw people 50 or under getting them when I started in surgery. Then again, the patients are also typically morbidly obese and there is no shortage of them in the US.

Obesity is a hell of a drug.
Also sitting for 8 hours a day and not leaving your home except to grocery shop

I’ve had auto immune arthritis for 30 years and my knees are still apparently better than 90% of this thread. It’s wild to see.
Damn, arthritis is no joke. Good on you for persevering and retaining mobility.
