Its not age as much as your weight.
I can always tell when I'm gaining weight because my knees will start hurting.
Not just weight. Itās lack of exercise. Iām 41 and my knees and back are fine even after a stint in the army. Gotta keep using those muscles and joints if you want to use them when youāre older.
My knees and back were significantly damaged by the Army and I got out when I was 21.

Only 27 but I exercise daily and have had no issue except for my wrists which is a hereditary thing from my moms side.
My knees are in this comment and they don't like it.
losing weight (safely) helps a lot! my legs built up strength to carry weight that it no longer has š
As a millenial almost 40.... Its not that bad if you do something daily, some yoga everyday can be enough
I'm at the stage where if I sit around too much it starts to hurt, but if I make healthy choices and exercise everything is still fine. It's like my body requires healthy choices. Wasn't like that before.
Same and some days Iāll go āIām staying in bed all day today and not leaving for shitā
Iāll order a pizza and get comfy then regret it later that night when Iām sore as shit and have bad reflux
Like your body wasnt maintained ok all the time but now he says: Look at me, i am the demander of maintanence now
I'm 40 and pretty much everything about my body feels better than 10 years ago.
Zoomer here, how do I claim my knees' warranty? They've started hurting AT LEAST a decade too soon.
I asked my oem if I could get replacement parts. Needless to say my mom said my model wasnāt getting built anymore and to not treat things like I stole it.
Gen X and Boomers looking at Millennialsā¦ āI wish my knees and back were in that good of shape.ā
I'm 23 and I'm already feeling it. Gotta stop sitting at a desk all day
Desk jobs are more prone to injury than manual labor jobs. Be active outside of work, especially stretching and calisthenics.
Iām in my early 20s and I got arthritis (yaaay) but for any soreness CBD oils are a god send
I hesitate to say this out loud, but mid-50s and nothing hurts yet, except the migraines I've gotten since teenage years.
Knees last if you take care of them. Back lasts if you take care of it and are lucky, and don't get fat, and are lucky, and don't work a physical job, and are lucky.
Stretch. Exercise. Don't overeat.
Don't overeat should be first imo
The more active you are, the greater the likelihood that you'll sustain serious injuries at some point. Those injuries go on to become chronic pain as you get older. I was very athletic and very active when I was younger, and I feel it now. I'm still active, and staying active helps those old injuries to hurt less, but they still always hurt.
