Before my 30s all my injuries took a week or two to heal.
Now, I'm running around months with a pulled muscle.
I don't even get them from lifting too heavy in the gym, I usually get them when I rotate in the dumbest possible way, grabbing some paper in the office.
- flangola7 3y agoWhy are/were you regularly being injured!?
- JeremyNT 3y agoI'm not OP but I'm in my 40s and their tale is very familiar to me. If you live an active lifestyle in your 20s and 30s and try to keep up with the same pace as you age, over time you will just find yourself "tweaking" things. This could be small injuries, like a pulled muscle, or tendonitis, or joint pain. You are still physically capable of many of the same things, but if you deviate from the "happy path" injury is much more likely and takes way longer to heal.
- k__ 3y agoDon't know, just happens. Especially since I'm over 30. I lift something in the worst possible position, because I'm distracted, and suddenly I pulled my back, or whatever. Grabbing something, turning around, remembering I need something else, just rotating my upper body and grabbing it, done. Lifting a big mirror, without bracing myself. Etc.
- bradley13 3y agoWelcome to aging... As you get older, silly little injuries take a lot longer to heal. See the earlier thread about weight lifting. It's not about becoming Arnold, and it really does help prevent silly injuries.
