- jay_kyburz 4y agoI did myself some kind of old man injury bodysurfing in Mollymook last week. A quick bust of freestyle swimming to get on the wave busted something in my arm. I guess I should slow down now I'm 50
- onion2k 4y agoI'm 45. I pulled a muscle when I sneezed recently. The end is nigh.
- zimpenfish 4y agoI'm some way past 45 and I hurt my arm cutting bubble wrap early in December. It's only just now back to normal.
- throwanem 4y agoBe glad of it. I did something unpleasant to a rotator cuff packing for a move last year and I'm not sure I'll get away without a surgical repair.
