Ah an aches and pains thread, I've found my spiritual home.
I turned 60 in December and can confirm that from 50 onwards is all downhill so far. I try and stay active with tennis but physically everything is getting harder (or not, make up your own joke....)
Bruised toenails are an occupational hazard for tennis players, sometimes resulting in lost nails, not a pretty sight. My other half however outdid me last week when she dropped a post rammer onto her big toe, very nasty and her mood wasn't helped when I pointed out that post rammers aren't meant to be dropped on ones toes.
Medications? just an inhaler to control very mild asthma which I've had all my life but both my father and brother died of COPD so it's a concern.
Supplements? Loads - Glucosamine, cod liver oil, turmeric & black pepper, as well as a multibiotic and a multivitamin, both of which have too many ingredients to list here.
I have vowed to try and get fitter when I retire as sitting at a desk for hours a day isn't good for posture, health etc. Fingers crossed for that retirement.
