You know how they say "kids are resilient" but really it leads to them needing therapy as adults?

I'm convinced a lot of the random physical pains of old age are the delayed effects of those childhood injuries we jumped up from and immediately forgot.

A buddy of mine was talking to his doctor not long after he turned 50 and he was complaining about some random pain. The doctor told him "You know all that stupid stuff you did when you were younger? That's what hurts now."

I’m dubious if a doctor would say that. That could be dismissing types of arthritis that has nothing to do with injury.

Additionally some injuries don’t just immediately stop hurting when you are young. They can linger and get more fragile as you’re older.

The ones that don’t hurt later like stubbing toes, sure. That is realistic. Getting mowed by a car, not so much.that would stick with you.
