I’m half joking. But as a 30-something who used to be very active, I recognize I’m over the hill and my joints sound like pop rocks

    I gave up and said screw this “we will fix you 2 months faster” snake oil physical therapists sell you. I’m just going to do my PT exercises every other day for the rest of my life. Best decision I’ve made. If I stop for 2 weeks, my knee and shoulder start degrading noticably until I start again. As long as I keep on it they are mostly fine.

      Mine is the rotator cuff - and I already had arthritis in that shoulder so now I am a human barometer. Fun party trick. I am punished for not doing my dailies but I do different stuff every other day. I suspect I will never regain full mobility in that shoulder - and it’s my dominant arm too. Wear and tear, I guess.
