    Meh, I’m 38, been very active my whole life (small blip because of the Vid and the crippling depression and chronic drinking that came with it), but I notice recovery time for injury, while not permanent, is way longer than it was at 27, and more for 18. Goes for exhaustion and hangovers too. Shit just lingers.

    But we beat on, you know? Can’t just stop.

      Except when you injure a disc. I would definitely stop if you can work remote, take vacation, etc…

      Back stuff has made people commit suicide the pain is such a big detriment to their life. You want to do anything you can to give yourself the best chance at recovery.

        Oh yeah, I had a disk pinching a sciatic nerve. Oh boy, I tell you, that nerve doesn’t care what age you are. Everything is totally fine physically you just can’t move or you get shocked in the brain part of your brain with an infinite amount of pain that feels like pain. You know the pain you get when you cut yourself accidentally from one end of your leg up to your entire body? Just like that.
