I’m 33, yikes almost wrote 32, I guess I’m forgetting years all the sudden. I’m slightly overweight, by about 40lbs, so I feel older cause my back and joints hurt from the xtra weight.
When did it start?
Are you very overweight?
I have Oa of spine and hands (mild in hands)
I can’t sleep without pretty bad pain on any movement and my back clunks when I twist (not popping, grating several vertebrae)
I’m 42,
My mum has had acute onset age 72 with same ish symptoms at night just a lot more severe
I’m very worried about the future not knowing what pain is to come
Part of me wants to sell, find a smaller place and just have an amazing load of once in a lifetime holidays to make the most of the body I have left
But I’m 13 stone 5’4" and really need to lose weight
I’m 36 but look like I’m 20. Sometimes, I have shortness of breath and so maybe that makes me age slower or something. Mentally, I’m like a teenager but have good morals making me wiser than a much older person.

I feel young I’m 31
It started when I was about 36 when I slipped two discs in my lower lumbar back area. That’s when the pain started, and then it just progressed from there. It came to a head at age 44 when I could no longer tie my shoes or bend over a sink to wash my face. And yes, at the time, I was severely overweight at 200 lbs and 5’8" tall and female. That’s when I became proactive and decided to do something about the severe pain. I decided to take up hatha yoga. And over a period of approximately one year, the pain in my back was gone, but the weight remained. When I was 55 years old, I went on a calorie reduction diet and lost 53 pounds and have been keeping it off with a calorie tracking app. Last September, I flew to Chicago, IL, for a musicians conference and when I touched down to the ground, the Chicago lakes hit me like a ton of bricks. My arthritis went into acute exacerbation that didn’t let up when I got back home to Omaha, NE. I’m quite a bit better now, as I find that if I lie on my back, instead of my side, at night, I don’t wake up with cricks in my neck anymore, as before. I take Naproxen 500 mg twice a day with food and Tramadol 50 mg four times a day as needed for pain.
I’m not taking the Naproxen right now or the Tramadol either and I am fine. I am only treating my arthritis pain with breathing meditation 15 minutes twice a day and gentle yoga 40-60 minutes every day. Also foam rolling 5-6 times as needed throughout the day works very well. Good luck to you and God bless!

I’m 22, feel about 40s, though haha
Perfect recovery really yoga -
i don’t have it in me i got too obsessed with it
i can’t look at yoga as healthy for me any more but i recently started going to body pump classes, a weight a step and lunges etc.
it seems to be challenging - i can’t do all of it
i’m aware i’m the heaviest in the room
I’m aware that i’m pushing myself
I have no idea the last few weeks have had me go from a motivated gym girl to sudden massive pmt alcohol soaked cow
