Ruptured disc at 20, surgery. Ruptured same disc at 24, surgery with spinal fusion. 20 years of repetitive motion destroyed my right shoulder. It has been hard to throw a baseball or football overhanded since I was 40. I STILL DO IT ANYWAY ANYTIME MY KIDS WANT TO. Motorcycle wreck when I was 45 took the left shoulder for a ride. Car wreck when I was 50 took my hips out (especially my right one). Mad arthritis in my neck, shoulders, hips, and back.2019 I cut my left hand into the muscle of my palm and through the webbing around my thumb. Still have only partial use of my left thumb. I am 56 now and I am slower than I want to be and everything hurts every day but it doesn't matter. I get up and go to work and come home and play with my kids. I will deal with the pain tomorrow.
I can't lean over the fender and change spark plugs anymore but I know people who can lol.
