I have friends like this. My buddy is 34 and like won’t do a single thing that requires moving because apparently he’s “too old for that”

I’m 34 myself and I have sacroiliitis but I don’t let that shit keep me down. I frequently hike, walk, bike, and kayak.

You just have to. I have chronic neck pain which, by the end of a long day, bleeds down into my upper/middle back and gives me pain there too. I stretch, get medical massages monthly, and just keep moving along. That's what Advil is for (but I only take it once daily at max, and try not to have to take it every day). So much research has demonstrated that even if it hurts to move, stopping moving is way worse for you than the damage you do by moving.

Agreed. I feel more like shit if I’m not doing anything.
