yeah we all think it isn't going to happen to us. I have been very active most of my life and definitely thought it wouldn't happen to me but I frequently have elbow and knee problems just from living my life. I also frequently wake up stiff as a board from "sleeping wrong."

I know I am more breakable now than I was before and it sucks to have to be more careful but it is a fact of life. I've been very lucky about kidney stones in that i haven't had any yet... or any other major internal problems. I know that clock is a tickin' though and it is only a matter of time. Not looking forward to that for sure.
