I sometimes hate my body! Seems since I hit my 40"s I have had more aches and pains then you can imagine. I have arthritis in my hands and knees.I have 3 slipped disks in my back and when I sit to long or its gonna rain my back starts throbbing big time. Some days I can't even get around. I feel like such an old women and I am only 42. Man, to be 21 again :) Anybody else have any aches and pains?

I had severe degenerative disk disease already and then had to have kyphoscoliosis surgery when I was 54. (Rods and fusion.) I have chronic pain issues, so I know just how you feel. My pain started before I was 40 and no, it's no fun. But hey, we can commisserate!

I had disk degenerative disease as well and didn't know i had it until I went to for the xray when I hurt my back. Yes, ma'am we can. Been living with this for the past 5 years and will continue to do so. Gotta do what we gotta do.

Is that a rhetorical question? I think the older you get the more you creak. I have lots of aches and pains. I just do what I can to ignore them. It isn't easy. Is there anything you can do about the slipped disks?

The bad news is that aches and pains are only going to get worse as you get older. That's reality.
