In my early 20s, I got tinnitus even though in the rare occasion I’m around loud noises I wear hearing protection.

In my mid-late 20s, my vision got worse after never needing glasses and my knees starting creaking with occasional pain. I now need some more involved dental work even though I brush and floss regularly.

I’ve lived a predominantly outdoor, active lifestyle the last several years, so I should be quite well off health-wise, but it still feels like I’m aging faster than I should be. wtf?

    Those seem genetically driven; how have your parents fared with similar stuff? That might give you an idea of what you’re in for.

    I feel like I’m falling apart more in terms of pain and chronic aches and pains. Wrong positions and movements bother me for way longer than they should. Don’t think I’ll ever wake up without low back pain ever again.

    I’m 32. I feel like a lot of these things bothered me in my 20s but it wasn’t until mid-to-late 20’s into 30’s that it really started to affect my life. Now I’m trying to fix what I can and just maintain. Be healthier and more active.

    Sounds like your already doing that so that’s why I would consider genetic, which blows because what can ya do?
