Current Events > Let me tell you whippersnappers something they don't tell you about being old

(+) Yeah! (+)

As I'm 26 I can impart knowledge on to the young generations since I have a couple decades under my belt: Watch out for back pain and neck pain. That shit creeps up on you FAST and no one tells you it's coming. But when you're an old and decrepit man like me, something like this happens every couple months or years out of the blue. So let this be a warning, young zoomers: back and neck pain will come for you yet.

I'm your age and do not have this problem.

---

It must be because of my intellectual superiority and my large brain size.

I 25 and my back starting to hurt like when I wake up on bed and go to toilet my back feel heavy and hurt.

Is it because I'm fat?
---

I feel sorry for you guys hurting already in your mid twenties.

I'm 36 and I can tell you that eventually you'll start waking up after sleeping in your comfy bed and feel like you feel off a skyscraper.

Can confirm

There's an old skater saying: "You don't quit skating because you get old. You get old because you quit skating"

I see Tony Hawk getting 20ft air and I think about this and how the man is 52yo.

Probably. You shouldn't be hurting at 25.

Or maybe it's your posture, past actions, weight, etc.

Maybe this is correct. I was an avid skateboarder in my younger years and I feel like shit pretty much every day.

More likely it's because doing stair sets fucked up my body, especially my knees.

shut the fuck up

Im 27 which means my brain power and intellect is far greater than your feeble 26 year old mind could ever imagine.

I ran a lot in high school for track/cross country and my job has me doing a lot of physical restraint on patients, being 34 its taken this long for everything to start feeling sore often.

Cat stretch is a lifesaver so you know. Ive gone from barely moving in the morning to being quite limber by evening just doing that stretch throughout a day.

Nope

If you got those problems at that age then you got think twice about your line of job.
