To all you young and invincible minded individual just remember ..This is going to really hurt someday.

Athletic injury, car accidents, motorcycle spills, stabbing, shot blown off APC, falling off roofs, slipping on ice, punched, kicked and beaten, sprain ankles, broken bones it all adds up …TO OLD AGE HURTING


Everyday as I get older the hurt from past painful events is now coming back …

Today the knee, last week it was the shoulder who knows what will be next week…

Remember it hurt then and it will hurt more later ..When you get older…

What’s in your future pain?

2 ACL repairs, torn cartilage then had it removed in both knees, and a total of 7 surgeries between the 2 lol. So in my future/present theres gonna be plenty of pain and eventually knee replacement im betting

Especially since im only 24 and play basketball/softball multiple times a week

I broke my right shoulder/collar bone in 3 places last year. I've actually got a cadaver tendon holding it together with a few pins. Hell, it hurts every. I'm finally getting some more feeling back into parts of it and now I can feel my rotator cuff aching too.

Fractured vertebrae, sleeping on my stomach makes for very stiff uncomfortable mornings.

I feel you here. I ran five miles last Friday and developed some blisters (hadn't run much in my Vibrams on pavement yet so that's why, now that the calouses are there I'll be fine) and then decided to run a 5k on Saturday. The blisters killed my time (22:37) but it wasn't so painful that I didn't have fun. Probably start doing a few more races.

I don't know how I got lucky with my shoulders. I never had an elbow hyper-extend by I can promise you that my shoulders were torqued plenty. I know folks that dread the repercussions they will have on their shoulders. That's got to be painful.

I already have...;) It's a good thing I forgot to mention my knees are shot too. I worked on F-16's in the Air Force and most of our equipment was low on the Aircraft. Then I worked on copiers for almost 12 years, more time on my knees. I think that job led to my Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome as my feet tingle a lot.

I broke my right ankle twice, same spot, a year apart. Then played 12 years of hockey. Im sure I will pay for it someday.

Left shoulder is shot. Left ankle is shot. Left knee is dodgy. My back is also seen better/younger years.

I was told at the age of 19 that my left shoulder was the same as an 80 year old man's along with the arthritis. I tore EVERY ligament in my left ankle when I was 20. I slid into 2nd base playing in a church league softball game... I went over the bag, my foot went under the bag and stopped abruptly. Dislocated ankle (set twice) and tore every ligament I had. 4 months till I used that foot again. Those are my worst war stories... Unless you count carrying 400-500 pound people in a chair down steps all day for almost 8 years...

Took a couple of cheap shots to the helmet playing football in HS - 12 years later, the damage opened up a seam in the floor of the old brain, with a resulting spinal fluid leak. That in turn set me up for two bouts with meningitis - which is a bitch.

Finally patched the hold with muscle tissue from my leg - oddly enough, the leg is what usually reminds me of the event when I get tired or sore.

Hmmm, well unlike you guys, my "future injuries" will be cardiac related. All four of my grandparents had problems with strokes, and I started taking blood pressure medication at age 20. Now, at age 23, I'm flirting with needing a double agent to keep it down. So, a stroke is in my future.
