I am very cautious in how I do weightlifting now. Luckily I have always been very particular about my form and even more so now. The weirdest part is that, as with most people with this, you use the side that doesn't hurt so it gets overworked and can lead to injury. Now there is no pain I have to make it feel like I am leaning left when I stand, sit, walk or lift weights. The left side is getting stronger but still needs the attention.

The only probably is now my wife has started doing a honey-do list again. If I can lift weights I can take out thew garbage. ;^)

Really makes a difference in quality of life. Still giving other scout leaders twenty years younger a challenge keeping up. Along with a bit of luck, life is good. Keep moving the best you can.

There is also research on grip strength and longevity which makes since you need to use your hands and arms to have a good grip and that means you are active. Even when I was flat on my back I had my hand grips on the bed so I could do them

I have always said once I was old enough to say it that I am going kicking and screaming into old age. I just didn't think old age would fight back so hard.
