Come on! Guys? How have you be treating your body? Like you're 30, don't this arrive during the 20's ?

I woke up shortly after turning 31 and my shoulders hurt. Then they froze and I couldn't lift them. Then that sorted itself out over the course of six months or so, but now they're in pain every time I lie down any way other than flat on my back, and my hands occasionally go numb while lying in bed.

Of course, I've seen doctors and they just ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯ "looks fine to us, you're still young lol"

I've been able to mitigate the other pain issues like my back and stuff with stretches and basic exercises. Seriously, fellow "no longer young adults", I cannot stress enough the importance of stretching and basic exercise, doesn't even have to be serious exercise, just take a brisk walk or play some VR while standing up, get your body moving, don't let it calcify.

A GP Doc isn't the right person, consider a physiotherapist or orthopedist

Oh, thank you, I'll see whether I can get an appointment scheduled.

I know what fixed my issues but i enjoy carbs and not exercising too much... strict keto eliminated all ny inflammation and pain and exercise gave me the energy I needed and strengthened my joint muscles... problem is my SO makes amazing pizza and they put me on a beta blocker for my POTS and well... yeah, that killed my exercise drive.

You should probably go to the gym lol

No need, you can literally do just a few excersises at Homepage 3 times a week. Does wonders.

Currently sitting here with neck pain because I accidentally fell asleep on the couch last night.

Relate to this a little too much.

I sleep better on the couch than in my bed because my mattress is too soft now.

32 year old roughneck. I eat pain for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Lol I'm not even 20 and I find this relatable

I’m home sick today from migraine :(

In addition to the other great ideas, deep tissue massages, stretches, invest in a great mattress and ergonomic furniture.

Wait till you get the revised "you're in your 40s now and even more fucked" version 2.0, two tongues, on a good day.

Bruh, I'm 21, and this is me... I might need help...
