When you are over 40 you have to do this while having chronic bodily pain and a ringing in your ears as well…
Nah... In all seriousness, just exercise regularly and the pain goes away.
My knee which feels like it exploded says otherwise.
Running may cause this, yes. I've bought a relatively cheap elliptical machine for my house and it really made miracles.
Running is what triggered it originally years ago. Ligament and cartilage problems I think it was. Could barely walk on it for 2 or 3 months after. I have to be very selective about the sport I do now. I helped a friend move house a few weeks ago and somehow that has messed it up again. But now I know what it is so I know when to stop and deal it it better. I miss being young!
And a bit of genetic luck also helps. I’m a flabby 40, but I don’t have backpain, two working knees and I’m flexible like a bendy straw. I’m more flexible than the skinny 20 year old intern at work.
On the other hand my hair started turning grey when I was 12, so you win some, you lose some.
My only physical problem at the moment (that I know...) is that between myopia and presbyopia my clear vision field spans maybe from 30 to 40 cm from my eyes. This sucks big times. Other than that, no backpain or the likes.
Well, you’re doing better than me :D congenital cataracts means I don’t have my natural lenses. I can see about 20 percent with contacts or glasses.
Still, I can ride a bike, I do watch repairs, and photography is a hobby. I like to challenge myself to do stuff that even normal sighted people wouldn’t do, like watch repairs with its teeny tiny screws. It’s only a disability if you let it be one.
That's an awesome attitude! Congrats!

* ME gets worse with exercise. Sucks big time.
