What old person thing did you think wasn't going to affect you until it does? (kbin.melroy.org)

Memory issues, here. I didn't think I would have bad memory issues until just a while ago, I had a thought on the tip of my nose, but forgot it in seconds and how it took me minutes to recall it. That's a key sign right there.

Some people have better memory in old age, like it's unreal sometimes with what some of them can remember. While the average person forgets thoughts in moments.

Had another poster point this is out, and after thinking on it, I have the same issue and cure. Go walking.

If I sit on my ass for a day or three, my lower back gets really sore. As long as I'm active, no problem.

I'm skinny and always have been, YMMV.

Deadlifts fixed my backaches at age 29. Haven't had any issues since as long as I keep up the routine.

Husband says the same. Deadlifts fixed his back. I have this far been lucky but do yoga 4x/week and lift once or twice a week. The yoga I am sure really helps.

Mine got fully away after buying a really good (and expensive) gaming chair and a new mattress. The gaming industry has done so much for our health, it's insane. :)

Don't get gaming chairs. Get a good office chair. Like a herman miller chair

23 here and I have back pain, but a good exercise can always fix this real fast
