The Getting Old Sucks Thread

The stretching will help you feel better and you will have less pain.

I've actually decided that I would do a little stretching and exercise tonight since my wife and son is away (he has to get some dental surgery done.) That way I have no interruptions and it will get me back focused on getting active.

10 years ago I re-injured a spinal injury that I had originally hurt when I was in the military. I've been in constant pain ever since then. I've had 6 spinal surgeries and the last one took 3 hours (in April) and made the pain worse. I've tried every pain therapy that there is, and sometimes more than once, to no avail.

I accepted that growing old was part of life but never expected all the pain I've had. Still, I try to stay positive and thank my lucky stars for disability. The VA system was a total bitch and it took me 4 years of major azz-pain to get them to approve my military disability.
