Joined: August 2005 Posts: 3736 Location: Sunshine State, Australia | I turn 50 in September and I started surfing again at the end of January after a break of nearly 25 years. The first outing consisted of catching one (rather large :eek: ) wave and getting pummelled by the next 10. I lasted 20 minutes and sat on the beach for an hour waiting for my friends to return. For the next 2 days, I was scared to move quickly in case something snapped. Moving ahead 3 months... this morning I was out in the water for 2 and a half hours and I feel great. I would've stayed longer if the waves didn't disappear. It'll come, GWB. You've just gotta stick at it. | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12755 Location: Boise, Idaho | A few years ago, I gave up soccer for golf. I drank a lot of beer after soccer games, but it wasn't quite the same as drinking beer after or during golf. A couple weeks ago I bumped into one of my old soccer cronies on an elevator and found out they were still playing, so I went to one of their practices. Ouch. I haven't been back for a couple weeks, but really need to drag myself back. Our golf league starts in a couple weeks and although it only hurts me mentally, I really need to find some more physical activity. I turned 56 last Saturday. | ||

Joined: March 2008 Posts: 355 Location: Wichita, KS | I feel it every spring when I begin to umpire baseball games again. My knees. My thighs. Were I more disciplined, I'd start doing squats weeks ahead of time. The extra weight I put on over the winter months doesn't help at all and there are always a few more pounds than the year before. Getting old sucks. | ||

Joined: September 2004 Posts: 777 Location: East Wenatchee, WA | Know the feeling. After being sedentary most of my life (with some hiking and walking), I had to start a more rigorous routine to try and stay off of diabetes drugs. Tried walking and an Eliptical. for the first year. My endurance improved, but my feet felt like I was walking on glass and my lower back was killing me. Last year I started jogging. Made it about a block at a time to begin with and now can finish a 5K, but I had to cut back on doing it every day as my feet now feel like I am wearing razor blades, and my lower back has a bowie knife firmly embedded at the belt line. I run every few days and use the eliptical in between and can now tolerate the pain, but it remains....old bones and back injuries. However, after 4 years, I am still not on diabetes drugs and feel more fit than I did in my 30's, so the pain is the trade off for good health...I think? :rolleyes: | ||

Smiling increases the pain threshold...when it starts to look like a rictus grin, try medication. Prescription or distilled as you prefer. (alternate treatment possible but not publicly acknowledged.) | ||

Jogging is hard on people who DON'T have problems. Swimming is wonderful excercize, and puts no strain on your feet, shins, or anything else. | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 5563 Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | I think whomever coined the term "Pain Management" was never really in pain Miles, you are so right...when I hurt my neck in '07, I went to Tenn. to the Pain Management Clinic...their idea was for me to take opiates 24/7/365...I asked them about driving and working, you know, little things like that: their answer was "you'll get used to it"... Wrong! I don't want to get used to it! So I found a few things that helped: swimming was one but we have no pool near here...so I have a jacuzzi tub that calls my name on a regular basis...now, I'm usually able to manage it... Finally admitting that I'm not 20 years old any more helped too...Drat it! :rolleyes: | ||

Joined: October 2005 Posts: 4044 Location: Utah | After two glowing recommendations from others with lower back disc problems, I finally gave Yoga a try. There are several poses or moves that should not be done if you have bad discs, but I must say that last night was the first night I haven't been woken up from back pain. Originally posted by MusicMishka: They told me the same thing. I told them I can't take opiates. After their confusion cleared, they decided to try nerve block injections.

Wrong! I don't want to get used to it! There's only one thing more attention getting than a needle poking directly onto the nerve. That's getting sliced open and then touching nerves to find the right one to cut. | ||

Jogging is hard on people who DON'T have problems. Swimming is wonderful excercize, and puts no strain on your feet, shins, or anything else. There's a point in life at about middle age after which jogging is just wrecking your joints. However, I find swimming lengths to be really irksome so I don't do it even though we have pool..lol | ||
