Get yourself one of those knee pillows that raises your leg up as you sleep. Game changer

35 years ago I had a climbing accident that left me with a similar injury to the one you mention, eyes not tracking independently. I was offered the op you mention but decided against it. Tbh, your brain quickly adapts, it only really causes me much trouble in sports like snowboarding, and to a less extent cycling, sometimesi have to close one eye to get decent vision.

The neck issue, I had something similar when I first bought an open top sports car, couldn't turn my head at all, really painful. Osteopath sorted it.

You're 40? I'm 63, last year I completed my first ironman, I'm doing it again in 5 weeks. Look on the upside, not the down

Ask for sedative tablets. I've had eye surgery twice (vitrectomy) if you have sedatives it's fine. I'm not claiming it's something I'd do for fun but the sedatives make it bearable.

Quite a list!

I knackered both my calves running (multiple times) so ended up having physio and lots of recuperation. Started running again and knackered both my Achilles tendons. Ugh.

My hearing is getting worse.

I get greyer by the day and now have two grey chest hairs.

When I put weight on it stays on like it’s handcuffed itself to my ribs.

But the worst thing, the absolute worst thing, is that when I sit down I go aaaahhhhhoooooooffffffffuuuuuuuhhhhh.

Every time.

Age should come with a health warning.

If you ever want a laugh have a look on insta for a guy called the dadbod veteran.

Keeping joints and muscles supple and nimble is key in older age.

Yoga is your friend. Do bodyweight and weight exercises. But avoid high impact exercises.

That's been my philosophy and so far it's been good. I think after 50 you have to start listening to your body and take care of it.

How can this be? I’m still fine, although if I get an injury it takes longer to recover than it used to.

I guess I’ll live at 100% and then go decrepit and die in the space of 15 minutes.

Sometimes too much inflammation can build up especially in the joints. You’re in great shape so it’s not down to inactivity which causes a whole host of issues.

I supplement with Kurk every day which has made a big difference. All other Turmeric and curcumin supplements I’ve tried have done nothing but this is doing the trick. I add in some suppleness training too. Loaded stretching, rope flow, soft acrobatics on days I want to exercise but feel a little stiff.

No way, you've got plenty more years to go yet.

I know a lot of guys that let it all go in the 30s now into 40 there are a mess. I've never been like that so I'm here enjoying myself like I'm 21

Investing in a decent hot/cold gel pack is probably a good idea.

I've had 8 months of nonstop medical issues, particularly calcific tendonitis in my shoulder, and that has really helped a lot.

But yeah, whoever said life begins at 40 was an absolute liar. It starts to degrade at a faster rate, more like.

Last two years, everything hurts just from doing mundane daily activity. Bloody ridiculous lol.
