Hope it’s just a wake up call. Changing eating habits and medication turned my wife’s around. She got her A1c down from 7.2 to 5.6 in just under a year. She’s cut sugar and carbohydrates drastically.
reminded me of the song that goes something like this:jltrent said:
guy goes to the doctor and tells the doctor he's feeling rough,
doctor tells him, let me break it to you son, your all messed up.
guy says, i'm all messed up, i don't see how,
doctor says what used to work, don't work now.

I worked with a guy for years. I am 4 weeks older than he is. Now he has never so much as stubbed his toe. Me on the other hand, my list of injuries goes on for several pages. He always complained about his aches and pains from growing older. Me I am going as far as aches and pains, I don't feel any different than I did at 30. Well I don't walk up steep hills as fast as I use to but going slower allows me to scope things out along the way better.

I agree with the saying above as until I hit 50 I was going along pretty good. Now it is every morning when I get up I take it slow for the first 30 minutes or so wondering were I am going to hurt next and hopefully it is not in a new place. So far I have been lucky as the low tire/flat tire indicator light has not come on, thank goodness.
And hope for a good bowel movement in that thirty minutes.jltrent said:

I can relate to both. I’m 51. Thank goodness, I’ve never had an injury that amounted to anything, and I still feel like I was 30. I hear people talk about having to get up in the morning and taking several minutes to “come to life.” Some is due to aches, and others due to habits. I know a smoker who says he has to take at least 30 minutes in the morning to sit around and drink coffee and smoke some cigarettes before he can do anything, and he’s serious. I can be up and out the door in 10 minutes if I have to. Of course, now that I’ve said this, I’m sure I’m jinxed.
herofan - I'm with you. Up and going at 72+. I have arthritis, but doesn't slow me down - yet. Feet are my worse, but they mostly bother me when I sit down in the evenings.

Mid 50s here, and the indiscretions of my youthful years are definitely making themselves known. Still do most things like I did, but sometimes it takes a few days to recover!

Mid-60's. Injuries have done a number on the joints. Last 4-5 years have gotten worse, but am going to work on getting the joints replaced so will be a bionic woman..... hope it helps to make it easier to enjoy what has become very painful and difficult the last 2 years. Years of being on hard concrete floors and out in all kinds of cold weather does a number over time.

I'm 41 and I'm feeling a lot of old injuries, my back is particularly sensitive and i've been fighting tendinitis in my elbow since February
You may have neuropathy try taking some B12 and it may help. The doctor I went to for this recommended B12 I do not remember the exact dosage but I think it was close to this article. Now I am taking vitamin B12 methylcobalamin 5000mcg tablet dissolved under the tongue once a day.Jeanne - Simme Valley said:

hurley- thanks for that info. I will check into it, although the only catagory that fits me is over 50 (well over!!). I just recently had a complete blood work panel (specifically vitamin B) for memory loss. All normal.
I have had arthritis since my early 30's, gnarly hands (ugly).

Dangerously close to mid 50's and still in excellent health - no meds, don't eat my veggies. Does wine count as fruit? But I've watched my husband fall apart the past few years and he's almost 14 years older. Yup, it usually happens.
