I'm 62. Have a little arthritis starting up in my fingers and lower back.
Ocassional twinges in my knees and right hip. My mother had it bad, but my
Dad didn't. I just hope it doesn't progress too fast. So far, I don't need
any pain relief and it doesn't limit me in any way. Mostly I notice it
when I get up from my desk after sitting for an hour or so. Takes a second
to limber up.

I'm more concerned about CAD (angioplasty and a stent four years ago) and
the epidermoid cyst in my cerebello-pontine angle (look it up) that's
involved with my vestibular nerve. This has wrecked the hearing in my left
ear and slightly affects my balance. The good news is it's very slow
growing operable if it turns out to be necessary.

They'll have to drag me out of my MSM.

Too much information?
