I’m 58 and had both hips replaced. Not do to running on hard surfaces though, Maybe football in high school. Rheumatoid Arthritis. Now my knees are going. Still moving though, thanks to “opiods” and steroids like Prednisone (corticosteroids, not anabolic steroids)
I have major pain in both my thumb joints due to arthritis and was given prednisone. Could only tolerate for two days then had to give it up. So I live with the arthritis pain and take one tablet of Advil every morning to handle the rest of my body's pain............
They talk about opioid addiction and there were times I was prescribed strong meds for issues but after one daily dose, I said screw it...........
