I am. You deserve health and mobility, and I hope you find the opportunity/training/whatever to access it. Your knees aren’t done, don’t be dismissed by those who say so.
Mine are, maybe others are as well. Knees suck. My knees have done a remarkable job keeping me jumping up and tapping signs for many years but time, being overweight, and genetic disposition have taken their toll. Now the only question is when should I get the nice shiny titanium ones
Sure there are a few people with genetics that just give them shit joints/cartilage/etc, but most people that’s not the case, they just have to take the maintenance and strengthening of their joints as a discipline.
I’m not saying I k ow who is gonna need a replacement or not, I’m saying for the vast majority of folks, improved physical wellness is accessible and realistic, and that it’s habits (like office work) and choices (like not incorporating exercise and stretching, drinking alcohol, etc) that are the chief limiting factor. Not age.
Edit It’s totally possible that you are of the minority where physical wellness routines and physical therapy aren’t gonna cut it for you. Good luck
I’m just being honest, you don’t seem sincere. I feel like you have to know it isn’t that easy, or maybe you are fortunate enough not to have to deal with American Healthcare. If you are being sincere, thanks I guess. I’ll be alright though
Ok, if you want to assume the worst, I guess you’ll assume I’m lying too. Doesn’t bother me, I’m just describing good things.
I was a wildland firefighter, and eventually suffered an it band tear. Im almost 40 and after lots of PT I paid a lot of money for, I’m happy to be running long distances again and certainly jumping or whatever. Prior to that I worked landscaping and field surveying.
Believe what you want, health and wellness is possible for almost anyone. Aside traumatic injury (surgery, recovery, etc), wellness routines are accessible to anyone. Cost is not the limiting factor. Age is DEFINITELY not the limiting factor. Of course when I say “age doesn’t matter, and wellness is accessible” I’m not speaking over those with traumatic injury or congenital issues.
Have a good one, however you want that statement.
Edit my post op rehab was a lot of sessions that cost money. most folks don’t need anything like that, just more movement and exercise. Motion is lotion.
Nah, you’re good friend. I’m being grumpy after some shit on politics and that isn’t your fault. I tried to read too much or too little into your comments. I see now you are just trying to say it is never too late to start a more active life style. Sorry for being a butt hole, and I do hope you have a good night
All good my dude. I get defensive because regaining, and maintaining my physical health is one of the “happy” things in life, and I’m guilty of assuming what works for me works for others. I tried to emphasize that everyone deserves wellness, whatever shape that takes…, and if you aren’t happy with the norm, well, get fuckin angry about it! Lol
Have a good one. Politics will get me riled up too haha
A case of arguing the same point from opposite directions, and being too gung-ho to realize.
Sadly, it wasn’t exactly politics, but the mods adding new rules and removing my comments, while bad faith actors roam free. The same rule they cited for removing my comments said to act in good faith. They told me to report the comment, so I did. Still sitting there, in all of its bad faith glory. Sorry, I just needed to vent

I’m experiencing the same. Concerned with the…interests? Of the mods here.
but ultimately it’s their ballpit, we’re just shitting in it.
Yeah, I really don’t like it. Leaving a super bad taste in my mouth. You are right though, which is why I am biting my tongue
