I'm 55, and started to have pain issues between 5 to 7 years ago. The worst is fibromyalgia, but that can hit people at any age. I'm so thankful I never had to deal with that in my 20s and 30s like many do! Between the fibro and a work related injury I need physical therapy for, I'm feeling like a shadow of my former self. I'm determined to make this limitation temporary, however. My goal is to get back into yoga regularly, and eventually do aerial silks suspension!Speaking fom the Chronic Illnesses and Physical Diseases Megathread, I second your thought, but without the age factor. Your body can turn on you at any point and that changes literally Everything thereafter. It's how I ended up here - before my time. And thank goodness for this place! ❤ As a follow-up thought, if I could have my unbroken body back, I'd love to carry on past 50. Even if it meant fighting it out for a spell. Just to have the chance. For current circumstances seem to have stolen from me any chance at all.
