    I’m 50, and a back injury from my 20s is like “Bonjour my friend, we meet again, ho ho!” It does come back to haunt you.

          Mine always strolls up to me with a playful smile on his tiny goatee, arms stretched wide across a striped black and white jumper, an accordion begins to play, before he nuzzles up close to my ear and whispers: “ich bin immer dabei, du arschlitrötchen”

      I’m 53 and some of my pains have totally disappeared.

      Neck used to lock if I twisted my head just right while looking in the mirror. Walked around for 3 days at a time like C3PO. Knee blew out. Broke my femur and that hurt on and off for 10-years. None of that now. Weird.

      I feel that. I fell on one of my knees on the ice when I was in middle school, and it aches pretty regularly and clicks like a zip drive when I walk.

      As a kid I fell out of a tree flat on my back with the only part not hitting concrete being my head. Still feel that injury come back from time to time

      Legit thought people where being a bit dramatic with back injuries when I was younger, well a few years back and a couple of herniated discs later coupled with sciatica, and… I now think those people where doing very fucking well tbh! Some insanity next level pain!
