I ache all the time. Especially if I sit a bit and get up. I just stiffen up and have to walk the stiffness out. My joints ache, my back aches, my knees ache. I seem to always have a muscle pulled somewhere that I'm nursing. Right now its one in my hip, I turn a certain way and the hip gives out and it hurts like heck. Getting old ain't easy, and that's for sure. I try to ignore it, but always seem to be reminded. When it gets bad I sometimes take Ibuprofen but try not to. Its the only thing that seems to work for me.
