You left off one item on your poll. The mind. My back is bad but not from work, it was messed up when I was broadsided in my van and it flipped end over end.

Every one but feet, neck, and eyes.

My knees and back are messed up but not from plumbing. I played football too many years. Add the fact I have extremely flat feet and I am pretty much screwed. And plumbing isn't helping lol

No problems here.

I am approaching mid 30's and have shoulder and knee discomfort at times. I know the shoulder is tendinitis, that is what Doctor said. Knees, are inevitable, due to the way I have treated them. Knees make crunchy sound when climbing stairs, or bending them.

I use to have a lot of ankle problems but six screws and an ankle fussion took care of that.
