Man getting old sucks.
Random unexplained pains. Food that no longer sits well. Medicine for this and this and that.
Since September I have:
Sprained my ankle working out.
Developed a heel problem in my left foot.
Screwed my right elbow up lifting Halloween decor boxes.
Hurt my shoulder by favoring the elbow while struggling with Christmas decor boxes.
Strained my right knee. It stays slightly swollen and I have to do stretching just to walk.
I need to exercise. I need to work out. But it’s three days on and two weeks off while I try to heal.

Yoga.

What about the crankiness?
Are you only listing ailments and issues that didn’t exist before you got so old?
-
The biggest problem with new aches and pains is they stay with you in some form or other from this point on. When you're 25-35, you rub some dirt on it, stretch a little and get back in the game. Now if you get hurt doing something, you just say, "Well, never doing that again. Ever." And then live with that shoulder pain until you croak.

Yep. It's like this knee deal. Apparently it's just gonna hurt at some level from now on. Most days it's tolerable. Some less so. When I play golf, I'll limp for a day or two afterward.

I’m telling you both...Yoga. It builds core, keeps everything stretchy and keeps the mind strong.

Old folks need three litres of water each day. Joint's get starved for the stuff as we age.

He's right. If you're too old or self-conscious for yoga, try tai chi.

I think Pilates would benefit him more from what he's saying. It actually had origins in rehabilitation and the physical side of the house. I know yoga has some physical to it but it's true purpose is supposed to be that spiritual/quality of life/mind-body connection aspect. Sounds like K needs more the physical rehab side of things. I don't think MT would hurt either. Just my .02.
-
I do 1, 2, way backs every day. Sometimes, as many as 10.
2 sets of jumping jacks on fridays. Depending on time, may do soup can curls or hip thrusts to end the week.
I mix some yoga in, however, I don’t wear yoga pants. Actually, I don’t even wear any pants. Keep it free.
But I don’t recommend this, if you are in an exercise class. Like I was.

We all know you still watch your old Richard simmons VHS tapes.
Snags bought them off one of those time life commercials in 1990. 28 years later he's still "sweating to the oldies".
-
I didn't want to brag on Snags for losing all that weight from the first time that I ever saw him.
My God that man was fat. So, really, the fatter that you are, it's easier. At least, it seems that way on the biggest loser.
But I've never asked Snags how he lost it. Now we know. Titty pushes. And I can envision him snapping off 500,000 of these.

perhaps.
i'd take my chances on practices dating back to 6th century over something from the 20th century.
"some" physical ...hmmm, not sure about the type you are referring too.

Just sayin I think from what I see him posting, he may need something more along the lines of physical/message therapy than the total holistic approach.
Def not knocking teh PNW yogas. In India yoga is just as much for the spiritual/mind part as it is the physical aspect since it's a pillar of Hinduism. That's all I meant.
-
I'm sure Snaggs will agree with me here. The only answer is weight training. Lots and lots of weight.
Also, don't use any braces or belts...those just slow down your progress. Just lift heavy, bro.
-
As long as I keep my current mindset -- I can do anything now that I could do at 25 -- nothing is going to help. Runs in the family. Dad is 78. Decided over the holidays that he was going to clean up his yard. Chainsaw to a few trees, axe to the stumps, pole trimmers, etc. etc. etc. I think he hurt everything he has. Doesn't understand why he can't just get up and do that kind of thing any more.

Maybe for you. And that's fine.
I admire the way that your biceps glisten when you sweat.
Is that too gay? Anyway, I'll just stick with the 1, 2, way backs. They keep me in tip top shape.
Granted, tip top shape is a relative term.

All bs aside, for your age, you are still a good looking man in your underw...I mean, you are in pretty good shape.

This was exactly the mindset I had to overcome. I weight train 3 days a week, but I have backed off the weight (Don't tell Buzz) substantially and don't do any "power" movements like squats, dead lifts etc. I stay in control with no crazy movements for the very fact that I know myself well enough now to know I'm begging for injury if I do.
I also started doing Orange Theory a couple of months ago for 3 days a week. It's a fantastic hour workout but it's low impact. Again, no power or crazy movements. Great overall body workout designed to burn the shit out of some calories. And that's what plump and fluffy Snagalicious needs more than anything else.

I hear ya. My dad is 76 just had his fourth back operation in Sept. Doesn't understand why he can't go bow hunting this year!
Shows me he hurt his back using the chainsaw on some fallen branches. I look at his saw and its a damn V8 Husky! But he's proud that it will cut down a redwood...if you can hold it up!

What I'm having trouble with about understanding these stories is that, according to the stated ages of their dads and their apparent age (Kaos and CCTAU) , were Kaos and CCTAU's fathers like 7 when they sired them?

His Instagram profile says he's 51 and likes cats. Not sure that means real cats or just dressing up like one at Halloween.

I honestly don’t know.
I do know that he has several turtleneck sweaters with pictures of cats on them.
And, yes, I do find it a little odd. But to each his own.

That's a good choice taken properly.
I said water because it became apparent to me that I wasn't hydrating properly and once I started the old pains eased a good bit.
Yoga is something that I would like to try for overall well being only I think it would require a total overhaul in my lifestyle.
* Some of the elder guys here will know the name John Riggins, thundering running back formerly with the Jets and more notably, the Redskins in their glory years. Definitely one of the odd characters to play in the league for many years.
You might recall the Sandra Day O'Connor incident.
Anyway, I found it facinating reading about this wild man's total transformation with yoga and holistics so you might check it out as you're passing time waiting to see your physician.
-
No offense but some of the posters that are posting would actually need the thread title to read “got old†and not “getting oldâ€.
There are several very decrepit looking people that I am personally aware of. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that they are still trying to contribute to society. But honestly, we all know that they are just in the way at this point.

I can't see shit up close anymore
Can't remember shit
my feet hurt ALL THE TIME
I am sore almost every morning when I wake up
I get up most nights to pee at least once
I now take a low dose BP medication
Hair is totally grey
Can't drink near as much without debilitating hangovers
All this started at about 47. It is full blown now that I have turned 50
Thank god I can still take care of business in the sack, but I'm sure that is not far from being a problem.
-
I believe in the hereafter. Because every time I walk into a room, I stop and ask myself, "What am I here after?"

Lyrica helps alot though you may need cialis.

This is the reality. Every bit of this.
Vision: One day everything was fine. The next I couldn't read the writing on a prescription bottle. It was literally that quick and it hit about 48 or so. That led to reader/cheaters. That led to having a pair in my truck, a pair by the bed, two pair in the LR, a pair in the kitchen. That led last year to full-time glasses. Contacts won't help and neither will surgery.
Memory: Gaps. Will start a sentence and lose the word in the middle of it. Get up and go into a room and can't remember what I went in there for. Things get scattered. I KNOW what a flamingo is, but over the last few years (thanks to Scarface I think) I say pelican every time. Every time. Simple tasks like cleaning the house evade me. I decide to clean up the living room and pick up a glass, go to the kitchen to drop it in the sink, decide to wipe the counter but need more paper towels. Go to the closet to get paper towels and notice I'm running low on 409. Decide to go to Target. Go to get dressed, notice that my dirty clothes bin is full so I decide to put that in the washing machine. Forgot I had clothes already in the dryer so I get them out and take them to the living room to fold. See there's a mess on the coffee table and start to straighten that out. Take a bag of chips to the kitchen. Decide to wipe the counter off... I can work for two hours and nothing gets done.
Foot pain: Every morning. Hobble to the bathroom when I get up. Eventually eases up most days, but sometimes it doesn't. Things like Disney almost kill me.
Random pain: Something hurts every morning. Shoulder, head, elbow, knee, ankle... Never know what it's gonna be.
Pissing: Not getting up every night, but when I have to go, I have to go. Not a lot of leeway.
Meds: Don't take BP medicine, but I'm taking about six other things.
Hair: Not grey, but a lot of it fled. I hate that to the point I've considered having it put back in -- the true indicator of vanity.
Drinking: Don't have hangovers. Never have. But I only drink wine, rum and vodka for the most part. If I had hangovers I'd quit and never do it again.
Sack: No problems BUT as much as I hate to admit this it seems less important than it once did.

Get tested for testotrone level. I have injections monthly and that helps alot with tiredness. Foot pain could be a sign of a serious condition, please read this: https://www.everydayhealth.com/foot-health/foot-pain-can-signal-serious-conditions.aspx
-
Much of the above^^
Hair: Not much hanging on so I pretty much keep it shaved tight. #1 blade, please.
Vision: Cheaters in every room, especially the library. (Bathroom) I can see fine far off, at night to drive etc. Can't read for shit without good light and cheaters.
Pains: Yeah, I got em'. But I work out a lot so I tell myself that's where it's all coming from.
Memory: I'll also be in the middle of a sentence
Sack: Ditto. No problems with the lead in the pencil. Just not as interested as often. Would rather watch a good ball game sometimes than trying to make the effort.
Oh well, it's all good.

A lot of these things are depressing. But it is still nice to have some perspective from a few who are much, much older.

I agree Bog senility is a sign of getting old.

Getting old? Here I sit at 4:30 in the morning, having downed my second bottle of Super Prep Dook-A-Lot in the last 12 hours, cleansing my colon so in a few short hours, I can be ass end up at a local Surgi-Center with a garden hose snaking around my innards.
Colonoscopy tiiiimmme....again.
Nothing fun about not eating for a day and a half whilst shitting for 12 plus hours of those. But it's absolutely necessary when you hit the big 5-0. Oh excuse me...I'll be back in a bit.

Holy cow. Those are the WORST.
Last one I had I came to in the recovery area and started yelling at my roommate to stop farting. I had no roommate.

Ha! This is my 3rd one. I can easily say this has been the worst prep I've ever done. First two, I took whatever stuff the Rx'd and shit hard for about 4 hours, went to bed and got plenty of sleep. New doc. Different stuff they want you to start at 6:00 the night before and then hit it again at 4:00 a.m. I can now pee out of my butt. Just ready to head over there and get it done so I can get some sleep and eat a big, juicy steak later on.

Yep.
First time I had to do that they gave me a gallon of this stuff and I had to drink it all. I thought I was going to die. Pain and explosive water-shit. That's been 20 years or more and even still today just thinking about drinking water makes me gag.
The last time I had it done, it was just a couple of pills and a little bit of liquid stuff. Nothing to it at all. Completely painless and easy.
If/when I have to have it done again if they try to get me to drink that gallon stuff I'll find a different doctor. I'm not doing it.

You people are old

I'm baaaack. One small polyp they cut out. Nothing significant. So, I've had all my blood work, full physical and a camera run up my ass in the course of a month. Cholesterol just a bit high along with the blood sugar. Doc said adjust the diet a little and err'thang should be good.
One thing about today's festivities. I love the Michael Jackson concoction they give you. Stick it in that I.V. and the lights start dimming quickly. However, I woke up during it for about 10 seconds. Knew I had something up my ass but really didn't care. Hey, this gay thing might not be so bad.
Wasn't happy afterward though when the nurse told me she was sorry about my nutts. I told her they were safe in a purse out in the lobby.
