Eye sight started at 55 , real stiffness , nagging aches and pains at 60 . I'm 63 now . After reading this thread I'm feeling pretty good, some of y'all sound like you're all to pieces.

Oh , and you know you've arrived when you don't have to ask for the senior discount.

Early 40s but it worse n 50s

I’m 65 and haven’t slowed down much. My aches and pains are definitely a little worse.

Just turned 55, arthritis in a couple of joints in my hand, from using hand tools for the past 27 years. I’ve torn my meniscus in my knee again, so that doesn’t help.

40-41 AROUND THAT TIME.

I felt invincible up to 37, then it all changed. I'm 49 now.

I actually feel lucky after reading this. I did great until about 54 when my arthritis blew up. At almost 66 I have had a hip replaced, one shoulder replaced and now I am retired will be getting another shoulder replacement and a basal joint replacement on my left hand as soon as possible. Because of how widespread it is I am in constant pain and pay an high price for most physical activities. Also developed a minor cardiac issue three years ago that has had a huge impact on my physical stamina. Add in the fact the last three years have been just horrible in too many ways to bore you guys with and literally up to a few months ago I was at the lowest place I have ever been physically mentally and emotionally. Good news is I made it to retirement and am living on the place I love most with an incredible wife. I hope now that with all the life crap behind me things will settle down and I’ll get my groove back some because for a long while I have felt much much older than my physical age. It is frustrating now I am at the farm there are so many things I want to do and am just physically incapable of doing them.

We're not.older just wiser. I'm 53 now and decrepit due to lung damage from blood clots but I guess 43 is when the downhill started.

turned 65 this past december. cannot run a 4.4 40 or dunk a basketball anymore.lol. but i still hang all my lock on stands and able to pretty much do whatever i want physically. the Lord has blessed me.

bunch of chillrins...I just turned 72 and it don't get better as you age. Trust me on this one.

I had a senior patient give me some good advice years ago. She was 80+ and doing really well physically and mentally. Her quote to me was "A moving part never rusts." Let that sink in. Think of all the old nuts on bolts, hinges, pivots, chains, ect. that you've see. They just sit there and and are never turned, used, or otherwise functioning, so they lock up and are useless. That goes for the mind too. I've tried to stay active. My job requires me to be up and moving a lot. I don't sit at a desk very much. But I don't get much "exercise." Just this week though we joined the gym that is operated by our cardiologist's office. It's right across the street from our home so it's super convenient. Not a muscle head or gym rat kind of place. Just a place folks like us can go to get some cardio and some exercise. We start next week.

To answer your question. I still feel young but little things like knees and I've noticed I'm not nearly as heat tolerant now in my 50's as I was in my 20's and 30's.

40 now and feel every bit of it but don't let it slow me down too much. Had my first shoulder surgery at 15, second at 16, broke my neck in a car wreck at 19, ruptured two disc in my lower back at 22, elbow surgery at 37 and a total joint replacement on the same shoulder at 39. Some days are rough but such is life. I do look forward to retirement and being able to get off the concrete every day and do things I enjoy.

I agree with Fred. Only good thing I have found about old age is Medicare, everything else pretty much sux. But it beats the alternative.

When I injured my back 6 years ago. I had to give up hunting. Let's just say ibuprofen is now my recreational drug of choice. Turn 66 in August.

I had a TKR Nov01 and just pushed a early date to do the other Apr18. Doc said he's giving me 2 weeks since he usually makes people wait 6mos lol.
My left knee hurt so bad I stopped hunting with the rut in full swing. Shots didn't work. If ya haven't done anything for the joints that hurt, I'd start getting options to fix them.

Early 40s. Started noticing small things like ears and eyes. Had to buy a high dollar bed to get a decent night sleep.

Approaching 58 and I don't sit around often. My brain thinks my body can do the things from my 20s at the same speeds but, I'm a little slower speed wise lol. Between knees, lumbar, cervical, and a couple nerve issues I have things that can flare up but, I think
staying active prevents some of the flare ups. I retired at 56 and I did so to enjoy my passion in the outdoors and I'm out daily. Sometimes only an hour or two, most of the time a half day, or all day. People can bust on where I live all they want but my freedoms in
my little rural area outweighs what a bunch of clowns are up to 2hrs or in any other part of the Country. I literally have 34 million public acres to hunt and recreate on for FREE and thousands of those acres are walking distance from my house.
For those aching, rent a bike and see how it goes, it's easier on the legs than walking and go from there.

^^that's weird how that looks lol^^

Im 45 and have not slowed down yet. I committed to 3-4 days a week at the gym and Im as strong as Ive ever been. BUTTTTTTT

I do however do a few things differently now. Eg: I traded my butt seat in for a Millennium Bill dance style. I absolutely hate it but I cant fish all day with my back anymore while standing. I still stand some. I also look for easier ways to do about anything I do now (Smarter not Harder) I can tell the day is coming tho

58 and I'm 61 now. I've slowly discovered the causes of some of my issues and feel better than I did a year ago. I'm losing strength quickly and get cramps in both hands constantly. Just started to have bubble gut a lot but eating yogurt has helped that. I used to hit the gym nearly every day but got to where I hurt so much it was making that worse. I need to get back going. Just got to get my head right.
