One annoying part of life, the aches and pains of growing older, how about you?

I guess that I should be happy that I CAN feel pain as that means that my nervous system is working properly and I am sure people who have lost the use of limbs, and other body parts would say, "Don't complain!! I would trade with you in a moment!!". There are days though that I get out of bed, out of a chair, out of a car, and I remember saying to my grandparents and parents, "Why are you groaning when you do that?" Of course, they would say, "Wait until you get older, you will understand." Hehe, they were right!! I teach dance and I always had a bit of soreness after a really grueling class. Since I danced every day of the week, but Sunday (unless we had a performance or rehearsals), I always had some pain, but it was different. Now, I teach a class, do not work as hard as the students do, because I am busy going around and correcting them, but at the end of four hours of classes, my knees hurt (I have mild arthritis, and had surgery on my right knee for a torn meniscus), my lower back is still and aching and I walk like a woman in her 90's not 50's!! LOL I can't wait to get home and soak in the hot tub, but sometimes, by the time I get home, I am just too tired to do that, too, because I must shower after to remove the bromine (used for killing bacteria in the hot tub) from my skin. I just don 't have the energy to do that! LOL So, who of you can relate to what I am saying and who of you think this will never happen to you (hehe, maybe Jack LaLaine can say that, who knows?)?
