For me it was getting a belly piercing at 18. Stupid scar and hole that'll forever be there.

Breaking my elbow and wrist. The little pains are a permanent reminder.

Tripping in a gopher hole when I was playing touch football around age 18. Damaged my ankle severely and darn thing still aches with very high humidity all these years later.
I've lived a very physical lifestyle so my body has taking a beating. I think my biggest mistake is not allowing injuries heal, I always kept pushing. Now that I'm a senior I have chronic pain from years of abuse, and still keep aggravating things by doing what I shouldn't. Some people never learn.

Using the high reach hedge trimmer, and tree lopper about 6 weeks ago. Its very heavy for me and about 6 feet long, but I've used it in the past for about 10 minutes at a time with no probs.. but this time, I used it for a little longer to cut back high hedges etc and it did a number on the tendons in my bicep.. and the pain is lingering on, quite severely...

Just growing old hasn't done my body any favours that's for sure.

Yes. Same here. But I'm glad I quit many years ago.

Being born; that seemed to just infuriate my body and it's been getting back at me ever since.

Well, I'm glad you are here. Thanks for your posts
Same here.
And I have to add, I made the stupidest mistake when I was 17. We were in Myrtle Beach on vacation, and it was an overcast day. I knew at the time that UV rays can still get through clouds and so you should still use sunscreen, but I thought I'd be clever and try to get a tan anyway, so I lay out all morning with no sunscreen.
I ended up with a blistering sunburn. I learned later that even one instance of a blistering sunburn can basically double your chances of skin cancer.

Smoking. Even though I quit 14 years ago there's still the specter of paying for that mistake.

No regrets but smoking wasn’t one of my best ideas.

I subscribed to the philosophy if you can’t play with the big dogs stay on the porch. I was never on the porch.
Too many times riding my snowmobile like it was the General Lee on the Dukes of Hazzard.
Reschooling too many really rank horses that were ruined by stupid people. I lost a lot of battles before I finally won the wars.
Between those two things is why I have to wear a back brace and walk with a cane. Truth be told if I could still get around as good as I did 10 years ago I would still be going after rank horses. No snowmobiles just rank horses.

Living the Dream
Living 87 years without a broken bone. In January I fell and broke my wrist. Never did heal right.
And the big one…smoking for way too long.
