Damn it! I am only 41!!!
Had my first session of physical therapy today because of some rotator cuff problems. It really helped. I think it all started when I tried to lift my table saw up (it is about 300 lbs) and pulled something in my collar bone/shoulder area. That was 7 years ago. It took a while to heal, and which is typical for me, I just dealt with it instead of going to the doctor. Over the past 6 months, it now hurts everyday and my shoulder area gets sore and stiff (especially in the morning). It has started to affect my sleep on some nights.
So the physical therapist said the "A" word today... Arthritis with inflammation. She suspects it is being contributed by my occupation (I am a software developer and my posture is horrendous). Luckily, I can start using these wobbly chairs that encourages better posture and I can stand at my workstation when I want (the desk moves up and down).
Oh yeah, my blood pressure has been high and my knees are bothering me. I am overweight (248 lbs) so I will be doing something about that. I have lost 6 lbs already since I started eating less processed food and sugary things and eating whole cooked meals at home.
But the thing that sucks the most? I need to cut back on my beloved Crown. Need to cut back from 5 to 7 servings a week.
Since the shack is torn down, I can't get on 75M to complain about it all... so I figured I would complain here :)

EDIT: I meant to add that all my numbers are good... Triglycerides, Cholesterol, and glucose levels... so that is going for me!
