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!
Obesity is a hell of a drug.
Also sitting for 8 hours a day and not leaving your home except to grocery shop
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 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.
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.
That’s an unfortunate trend, though I’m glad you’re there to give people another chance at mobility. With some of the new options I’ve heard buzz about, I hope people are able to get the help they need to thrive and maybe reverse that trend.
