Getting old sucks

[penguinz]

The older you get the less you can trust a fart to not turn into a shart.

I think the worst story (maybe here on CP) was a dude trying to anal with a beauty and she crapped all over him. He ran from the house...naked.

My worst story was when I was still kinda a newlywed. (1-2yrs). We slept in a small full sized bed. We slept naked per usual. Just laid down and oops. Damn that sucked. THIS was a situation where you can not hide it I blacked out after this (memory hole) and haven't a clue how the situation was remedied.

The older we get, the better our Spidey senses get thus it doesn't turn into an episode.

This is great .

You know your old when your backache develops a backache.

At 53, I don't think of myself as old per se...but I'm definitely not as young as I used to be.

Getting carpal tunnel surgery in a couple of weeks on BOTH hands (6 weeks apart). Been waking up with like no feeling in my hands for the first few minutes of the day. Went to the doc, turns out I need surgery.

My back hurts. My shoulders hurt. I find myself good and ready for bed at like 9pm. I hate SNF and MNF...but if it's the Chiefs I suffer it...I can't sleep in anymore. Like 7am is wildly oversleeping...

And on and on. Oh yeah, I also have had a few times where I made what I thought was a funny and clever quip, only to be groaned at and have my kids tell me my dad jokes suck. WTF? I'm a goddam riot!!

Damn kids. Get off my lawn...

This thread reminds me of one of my favorite old songs.

Change your exercise and movement patterns. I lift heavier than I ever have and I have considerably less back pain than I used to.

Go on multiple 10-20 minute walks per day if you can. Walking heals.

Arthritis is a bitch. You will know you are old when you pay attention to weather fronts and barometric pressures. It's called ache and pain days by the weather person nowadays. You may not know it yet but for most when you get to a certain age you will.

A couple of my neighbors are always asking me what my secret is but they don't like the answer. It's my Sole F63 treadmill that I recently clicked over 2,000 miles on it. 1/2 hour after breakfast every morning at least. The benefits of it are incredible.

I can relate, it even hurts my shoulders pouring my coffee.

Get a bed you can adjust like a hospital bed. It’s worth every penny.

I mean, how does that even happen?

Mine stuck around for about 4 weeks with some days better than others but it was pretty consistent

I changed up the way I was sleeping and stretched it a few times a day and its pretty much gone

I was giving it another week before seeing my doctor about it. WTF

Be careful... you can actually develop things like hip flexor pain from being in a position that shortens the muscles for long periods of time.

Get a forearm flexor trainer. Tennis elbow is caused by weakened tendon inserts of the forearm flexors (sometimes can be caused by bicep insertion but usually forearm).

I have the alpha grips forearm extensor trainers and anytime I feel a slight twinge in my elbow I do a few sets and it is gone.

You stop and start your urine flow so you don't piddle on yourself in urgency. Maybe it works both ends

[stevieray]

I'm doing pretty well at this point.

For that, I am thankful.

That said, I've pretty much eliminated sugar and processed foods from my diet.

p.s. RIP, Dr, Pepper. I shall miss you.
