You sound like you're either in your late 50's and/or haven't made your health a priority.

This isn't my experience and I'm almost 40.

Not the case.

Use to do a lot of sport had knee surgery at 21. As mentioned probably didn't eat enough, done a lot of on, off stop start stuff. Travelled the world. Switched activities. Was never overweight.

While I could have done more to improve my knees some people are just born with better knees than others and I've come to accept that. I don't have issues with my back or shoulders or neck or hands. I know people my age that do. It's just how it goes.
