I used recover quickly from exercise and sports injuries. Even an ruptured appendix operation didn't hold me back from playing football a few months later. Now I'm having difficulty recovering from simple activities and surgeries from over a year ago. I have hip joint pain, which might be related to taking a statin, and occasional should pain. I do have constant minor knee and ankle pain from arthritis. In addition, I seem to be have more difficulty with balance versus a couple years ago, before my major surgery.
My college roommates don't seem to be having any issues. They are doing major activities like 10,000 steps per day for a year or more, bike riding several miles through different elevations, and kayaking in the ocean. I'm impressed with what they are doing, and disappointed in my decline of physical ability.
I decided to see a physical therapist last year for my hip and shoulder. I first went to an orthopedic surgeon to check if there were bone or arthritic issues. There were none and they referred me to PT.
I had one session with PT for my shoulder and hip. They gave me a number of stretches and exercises to do. I started on them today.
Hopefully, the stretches and exercises with help. I'm looking forward to a more energetic and less painful joints for 2026.
