25 but I feel like an old man. Degenerating muscles & aches and pains over my entire body.
    #13853286 - 01/26/11 11:08 AM (13 years, 2 months ago)

I'm only 25 years old but I feel like I have the body of a 70 year old man. I have little aches and pains all over my entire body and it feels like my muscles are degenerating.

Some of my aches and pains I contribute to all abuse I put my body through skateboarding as a kid, and 2 years of back breaking factory work building semi-trailers. But I have gotten plenty of rest and relaxation over the past 3 years and I don't feel it has gotten better. It might have gotten worse.

I think my bad diet and lack of exercise might also be contributing to my aches and pains.

The main thing I am worried about is the feeling of my muscles degenerating, mainly in my left shoulder. My left shoulder feels extremely weak and when I rotate it in circles I can hear little strands of muscles snaping and cracking and I can hear my bone "grinding" in the socket. :crazy: And it hurts to do little things like push in a dresser drawer or even pull off my sock or wash my hair in the shower. It's not a bad pain, its more like an annoying little pinch in the muscle.

I also hear that same cracking and snapping noise when I rotate my neck around in circles, and I have various other aches and pains throughout my body. Like just now as I set my cat on the ground I felt a pain in my left side, felt like it was coming from my organs or something, not a muscle ache.:crazy:


Does anybody have any vitamin recommendations for healthy muscles and joints? Or maybe some foods I should add to my diet? Or some stretches or exercises I should try?

I want to feel healthy again, I don't want to feel like an old man.

And does anyone have any computer related job recommendations that are somewhat easy to get into? I really don't want to work in factories much longer because I don't know how much more my body can take. I'd like to get an easy job sitting behind a computer all day.

I know my way around a computer but I'm no expert or anything. What would be a good computer related job for me to go to school for? And I should also add that I am not a people person, so any jobs that don't involve dealing with customers would be a plus. One of my friends does CAD (computer aided design/drafting) and I think that might be something I'd be interested in.

Pain killers and exercise. And a video game technician! :thumbup:

I skate a lot and have the same problem, especially with my knees because I come down hard on the board... One thing that I think helps is fluid muscle recovery powder. You put it in your water. I hope that this helps.

I'm not looking to kill the pain. I'm looking to feel healthy without pain killers.

And being a video game technician would be bad ass. But I know I would never be able to get a job in the field. Looking for something more realistic.

I'd love to become a light technician for a band and go on tour with them working the lights, but I know I would never get a job doing that so I'm not gonna waste my time going to school for it.

:yesnod:

My right knee and my back are constantly in pain. And my ankles are not in good shape either.

I'll have to check out that muscle recovery powder.

I can relate to the shoulder pain, stretches do help as long as you don't push it.  Weight lifting is excellent for relieving pain as well, again if you don't push too hard.  Start low and slow.  I talked to my mom's physical therapist about my shoulder popping.  She advised me to do seated rows, and to pull from my back instead of my biceps.  She told me to picture i was pinching a can of soda in between my shoulder blades.  I guess strengthening the back muscles around the shoulders protect and support them.  Worked very well for me.

Thanks for that advice!

I have been trying to stretch daily and I try to workout whenever I have access to a wheightlifting machine which is like twice a week. I hope this helps some.

I've also started to take my One A Day multivitamin again hoping that will help.

If you are 25 and feel like you have no energy, it means you either have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or you live an extremely sedentary (lazy) lifestyle. Theres a saying "If you don't use it, you lose it" and it holds true to muscle and energy metabolism. If you don't do anything, why would you need extra energy? The reason why people who exercise have energy is because there body doesn't know when its going to need a burst of energy and they have a higher metabolism, hence more energy always available.

I'm not sure about the aches and pains, but I assume its because of your lifestyle

Stretch your muscles, do some aerobics (any kind you like - it doesn't have to be running), some weight training a few times a week and in a few weeks you'll probably feel like a whole different person

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.

If you keep eating food thats dead and processed, expect to become a decaying pile of flesh.

Eat more food that is ALIVE: fruits, vegetables, nuts, raw fish/eggs/meat. Anything that still has a lively pulse left in it will rejuvenate your mind and body.

I used to skate..I was damn good too. I remember tryin to trey flip crook grind down a 22 stair set with kinda tall stairs and a platform in the middle. Those fucking kinks used to get me, the board got caught in between the deck and the wheel and I fell down probably about 12 feet straight onto my knee caps on the concrete. Fuck. I couldn't walk right for a few weeks. :feelsbadman:

You suffer muscle atrophy if you don't use them. Start lifting free weights, work on flexibility and joint health, and increase your protein intake.

Yeah, I was thinking this might help.

I hate meat so much I bet I'm barely getting any protein.  About the only meat I will cook myself is bacon. Other than that I will eat meat at restaurants and precooked stuff that I just have to heat up in the oven. Cooking ground beef is so fucking gross... :projectile:

I should start eating more nuts and peanutbutter.

Also good sources of protein are whey protein, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, eggs or egg whites.. etc.

Protein is key and a lot of people really don't try much to get enough. A huge % of people don't get as much as they should.

2 years later and I'm feeling much healthier over all. I'd say the cause of this thread was a very poor diet.

I eat healthier now and I feel healthier now.

But at the age of 27 I still feel like an old man. :lol: Went snowboarding last weekend and fell once... Didn't slam hard or anything, just fell and caught myself. My shoulder is really sore from that small fall. At 22 that wouldn't have fazed me at all.
