I’m about to turn 50 and nothing hurts on a regular basis
I bet you regularly exercise.
Confirmed, I do
Walking/running/hiking, a light lifting program, a calisthenics program, pick two to defy the reaper of joints.
That’s pretty much the only reason I exercise - to make getting older suck less.
Swimming is good for both.
yea swimming does wonders to your skeleton, your muscles and ligaments, your breathing,… it’s fantastic
Well that’s encouraging lol
I just noticed my ankle hurts. Why? No idea. How long has it been that way? Also no idea. I hope it goes away on its own.
My whole body started hurting when I turned 21 and started working at factories and warehouses, and it still hurts because I work on a farm but it’s what I like to do so I take the good with the bad.
wait til you reach your 110s, that’s when things really start cramping
I plan to shed my limbs before then and transform into a lizard.
Personally, I’ll become a mind in an anthropomorphic machine in the highly unlikely event that the technology gets there in the 25-40 years I have left lol.
Lizards are cool at all, but being cold-blooded only works for capitalists and have you ever tried playing Fallout New Vegas without hands?
I’m 22 and everything already hurts all the time, I usually need help with basic house chores at this point cause i need so much time to rest
That’s not normal and you should probably see a doctor. Condolences fellow human.
Yeah you right. they’re just expensive as hell out here and I don’t make enough money to guarantee I’d survive if I went to one
America moment?
I’m 40ish and don’t have any regular pains. This sentiment is so fucking overdone
How do you do it ?! answers, thorbot !! I want answers !
I don’t eat processed shitty foods. I get my heart rate up 30 mins a day. I sleep 7 hours a night. Also, I guess genetic luck is a thing. I don’t have any major health issues.
Pragmatic. Thank you for this answer
Sure. I’m not in amazing shape by any means, could use to lose a few pounds. But not obese. And all my friends in my age group have similar levels of health so this “I’m 30 and now my whole body is fucked” rhetoric is weird to me
I think it’s mostly hyperbole
Don’t be overweight, exercise.
Meme template 😘👌
Turning 50 this month, and I feel pretty good. I have a few niggles here and there, but I stay active and that helps a lot.
Just wait ti’ll you get to your 40’s! 🎉
Wait till you reach your 50s
I heard 70s is where it’s at.
I hear that, if you can get into triple digits, there’s a stack overflow and you start aging in reverse!
At that point I’d need to call a fuckin hearse.
Earlier today, my knee just started hurting a lot for no reason. Not an old injury flaring up, no bad movements or anything. It just decided that my day was going too well 😄
Yeah my recovery isn’t as fast anymore, lockup easier too.
Heat up tires and work on your braking then.
What if I reverse the graveyard song?
The graveyard warps to you.
Staying active helps mitigate this issue. Not fully, but it helps.
“Oh no I eat garbage and rarely do physical activity why oh why do I hurt when I do even the smallest things?” - Me, before I started getting out and doing things.
I mean, it worked well as a child and teenager, why wouldn’t it just continue to work? Kind of unfair if you ask me
Man as a person who’s had small chronic pains since my teens these posts always make me jealous
I don’t know what you youngsters are doing but my everything didn’t start to hurt until I passed 50.
I joked with my mom about how everything started hurting after 25, and she was baffled because for her the aches also only started after 50.
I am pushing 40 and no aches. Don’t know what is meant by the meme.
I’m guessing you exercise regularly? I suspect the young pains thing is mostly from living a sedentary lifestyle.
I exercised a lot in my 20s but with my office job and working from home post pandemic I became extremely sedentary. Maybe it’s a good call to exercise again. I also have to get over a sports injury with physio so I really should go back to the gym.
I lived a really sedentary lifestyle for about 10 years and everything started hurting. The good news for people in their 30s is that it’s probably not too late to turn it around. It’s crazy what a little exercise can do
It’s either that or the opposite end of the spectrum: being used and abused by physical labor jobs until you can’t work anymore.
Maybe we don’t even know what hurt is
I’m a bigger, tall guy. 6’4", and in my mid 20’s 280+lbs. I was hired to deal with big heavy stuff. I’m no body builder by any means. Just larger framed. Still, often was hired to be a two legged horse. At the time I could do it. Now, I’m paying for it.
The answer is nothing. A sedentary lifestyle is what gets you.

I’m 43 and rarely have aches (certainly nothing that would qualify as chronic), but I also regularly walk to and from the gym to weightlift. There’s a saying “Movement is Medicine” and so far it seems to be proving true for me. Maybe if you don’t use it you lose it.
Being constantly over worked since we entered the workforce as teens/early 20’s
