Feeling my age.

Hi...where in the world do you call home..?

Welcome from PA :) 70?? You're not "old" yet. I'm 77 and feel great physically most of the time, except I twisted my knee the other night. I did it turning over in bed! The heating pad has been my friend for a couple days.

I will be 70 in May. I've never felt "old" until a recent and spontaneous back issue decided to join me.

Funny, you mentioned this. I woke up this morning and I could hardly get up as my lower back was messed up. I did no lifting or physical work yesterday or the day before. My lower back has not bothered me in years. I too am in my 70's, so maybe it is just old age...regardless, I will need to work on it once it stops hurting. Stretching and strengthening is in order...

Yes, keep at it. I bought a walker so I could get some strength back in these old legs. It has helped already. We have a large pond in the center of my apartment complex with a paved walk around it. Yesterday I barely make 4 rounds and had to stop and rest twice. Today 5 rounds with no stops. Best of luck to you! Keep in touch.

Thanks for the encouragement. I don't plan to let this get the better of me. The alternative does not appeal to me!
