I don’t know what you youngsters are doing but my everything didn’t start to hurt until I passed 50.
I’m 43 and rarely have aches (certainly nothing that would qualify as chronic), but I also regularly walk to and from the gym to weightlift. There’s a saying “Movement is Medicine” and so far it seems to be proving true for me. Maybe if you don’t use it you lose it.
I’m a bigger, tall guy. 6’4", and in my mid 20’s 280+lbs. I was hired to deal with big heavy stuff. I’m no body builder by any means. Just larger framed. Still, often was hired to be a two legged horse. At the time I could do it. Now, I’m paying for it.
Maybe we don’t even know what hurt is
Staying active helps mitigate this issue. Not fully, but it helps.
“Oh no I eat garbage and rarely do physical activity why oh why do I hurt when I do even the smallest things?” - Me, before I started getting out and doing things.
I mean, it worked well as a child and teenager, why wouldn’t it just continue to work? Kind of unfair if you ask me
wait til you reach your 110s, that’s when things really start cramping
I’m 40ish and don’t have any regular pains. This sentiment is so fucking overdone
How do you do it ?! answers, thorbot !! I want answers !
Don’t be overweight, exercise.
I don’t eat processed shitty foods. I get my heart rate up 30 mins a day. I sleep 7 hours a night. Also, I guess genetic luck is a thing. I don’t have any major health issues.
Pragmatic. Thank you for this answer
Sure. I’m not in amazing shape by any means, could use to lose a few pounds. But not obese. And all my friends in my age group have similar levels of health so this “I’m 30 and now my whole body is fucked” rhetoric is weird to me
I think it’s mostly hyperbole
It sure is pervasive though
Turning 50 this month, and I feel pretty good. I have a few niggles here and there, but I stay active and that helps a lot.
I’m well past 30 and do not have this problem.
Either people have old injuries that are coming back to haunt them, bad genes, or they need to get their asses some exercise.
I assumed the joke was that as you get older things are just more stiff and you don’t recover as fast. Yeah, it can be reduced with more exercise/activity but you’re still getting older.
There was an event where this became apparent for me. I played softball for years in my 20s. Stopped for a bit and returned in my 30s. I was actually in better shape when I returned. One day mid-season, I was rounding first base, not even particularly fast, and I felt something tweek. By the end of the day I was stuck on the couch and could barely move. I had to take the next day off.
I don’t think that’s what the meme is saying, it really shouldn’t need interpretation. However, I agree with the rest of what you said. Youth gets strength, endurance, and faster recovery. If you’re older, you can still hold on to strength, but endurance and recovery take hits with time.
Yea I’m just about 40 and have no more aches than I did when I was 20. If you are fit and not overweight you likely won’t have pains into your 50s.
Yeah, over 30 is when your shit diet and lack of exercise catches up with you more and more. Exercise starts to not be optional if you don’t want to feel like shit.
Yep.
Quit going to the gym thanks to covid and just started back up a couple months ago. I thought I felt fine before. After a month at the gym just doing super-basic, non-stressful cardio to just improve overall health and I realized that nope, I was not fine. Way better now even after just a month with 4 days a week at the gym and low-impact exercise.
Getting off your ass is highly valuable.
Just wait ti’ll you get to your 40’s! 🎉
At that point I’d need to call a fuckin hearse.
Wait till you reach your 50s
I heard 70s is where it’s at.
I hear that, if you can get into triple digits, there’s a stack overflow and you start aging in reverse!
Earlier today, my knee just started hurting a lot for no reason. Not an old injury flaring up, no bad movements or anything. It just decided that my day was going too well 😄
Will turn 30 this month. I walked a few kilometers and my legs hurt. A couple of years ago I had a date where we had walked 30km during a night and I felt great back then.
When I was writing this message, my back demanded a stretch, which I’ve provided, not without pain in my shoulders.
I am really started to consider a suicide at 40. I just can’t live inside this rack of a body.

Yeah my recovery isn’t as fast anymore, lockup easier too.
Heat up tires and work on your braking then.
Man as a person who’s had small chronic pains since my teens these posts always make me jealous
45 today. Doesn’t get better. Quitting sugars and refined foods helps my joints from hurting tho.
Meme template 😘👌
What if I reverse the graveyard song?
The graveyard warps to you.
