Just need to check that the reference to a sub 38min 10k hurting is understood....
If a sub 38 10k isn't hurting you should probably see a doctor

Your not the only one mate. I've got two bad knees (arthritis in one and a failed ACL reconstruction in the other)
I've also got subluxation in the left shoulder (partially dislocating shoulder)
And a problem with my DIP joint in my right hands little finger. (I stretched the ligament.)
I just get on with it.
I've tried numerous things over the years for my knee pain. I have settled on warm baths and fish oils. And the occasional ibuprofen when needed.

But I appreciate life must be harder if you have a manual job. Fortunately I work with computers so not to strenuous.

While I feel no different at 36 than I did at 22, I have naturally stiff muscles (taking after the men from my mother's side) so I'm always sore after intense exercises. Always have been. Even in my late teens.
Though I think we get smarter as you get older and don't push yourself for the sake of pushing yourself. These days I'm far more careful with what I eat and live much healthier. Strangely it's not something I actively have to work at. My body just prefers healthier foods, more exercise and better living. It's pretty much all autopilot.

My Right hand is currently almost unusable!
I have had developing osteoarthritis for some years but it has, until now, been well controlled (Glucosomine sulphate (available on prescription but you DO have to ask for it!) does help considerably.
However, I managed to totally **** myself up 48 hours ago. (Changing the indicator bulbs on a Nissan Micra! Serious bloody awkward job, even if one wasn't arthritic, I wish I could sue the *******s!)
I cannot use my right thumb, It is bloody agony even to move the arm!
If this doent get better over the weekend I am possibly seriously looking at a life changing situation!
I am a Manual worker, A Manual worker who cannot use his hands is about as much use in the world as a chocolate teapot!
All you young ones!
You have all this to look forward too! /:
I'm getting it too mate and it sucks ....its in my fingers.
really sucks because I game and play guitar (maybe not helping it )
receding hair too ...everyday I use more soap and less shampoo, its like my face is growing haha
