Today, as I was getting an exam and a steroid shot from my sports medicine MD, we talked about the ironic negative effects of "positive aging" messaging on social media. People in their 50s and beyond now see outliers running 10ks in their 90s and think they're somehow at fault for their *normal* decrepitude.
I have done everything "right" and I still have hip tendonitis and mild hip arthritis. But I'm glad I know enough about the process of aging not to blame myself. Aging happens, y'all.
