Is this what we get to look forward too after abusing our bodies for so long? Dam. Sorry you having suck a rough time. I’m already getting there. Always seems like something is hurting and I’m in mid fourties. You said, “if I could only turn back time.” What would you have done differently?
 
Speaking for myself, no heavy weights.

Ya, it's always something but it's also amazing what we can get used to and what becomes the norm.

I never listened to my body. Don?t do the same mistake. You don?t wanna be like I am now ? some days almost unable to get up. But nothing will stop me from working out. Damage is done. We can?t turn back the clock unfortunately.
