I'm in my thirties now and I don't have any pain like that.
You must have slipped through the system, I've made a note of it.
Tomorrow, order will be restored
Why tomorrow and not now?
Still running on old mainframes, information doesn’t propagate through the system until everything is batch processed overnight.
Gotcha.
I'd love to sort it out now, but my back just ain't what it used to be. Plus I've got this killer migraine.
Well, I haven't ever smoked anything and I haven't ever drank alcohol.
That probably has a lot to do with it.
Non-smoker/drinker, formerly very physically fit person weighing in. In the five or so years surrounding 40, everything suddenly fell apart. Knees would ache after pickup games. I picked up an empty suitcase and slipped a disc. Shoulder started feeling sandy. Hands got arthritic.
It snuck up on me until one day I realized that I couldn't remember what it was to not have something hurting. I hate to say that I could easily wish it on my worst enemies, but not the average person going about their business.
At 50 years old I advise you to count the days and bless every one.
I had lower back pain but regular exercise pretty much completely fixed that.
