      I had lower back pain but regular exercise pretty much completely fixed that.

    Not to brag, but I'm 40 and have none of these, it's surprising and a bit depressing to me that so many people have these ailments at such an early age. I wish you as many pain free and healthful years as possible.

      I wish me a speedy death.

      My knee has been screwed up since birth and somedays I can't walk on it. My lower back was destroyed when I was 10 because some idiot didn't follow simple instructions. I have constant headaches because of a glasses prescription that I can't afford to get changed. I have arthritis in my feet. I own 3 canes. I am 31.

      Pretty much the only pain I don't have is hip pain.

        I am not one to blindly believe that life is inherently sacred without the context of death. If this is what you want, and considering your physical ailments, I can only assume I have the smallest of understandings as to why you desire it to all end. And I can only hope you find some peace in one form or another. I'm... well, at a loss at how I can express sympathy. I hope you can find some solace, though.

      I’ve had arthritis since I was like 24 or 25. It really does suck… I miss the days when I didn’t hurt constantly.

        I really am so sorry to hear about that. Even though I suffer none of these ailments myself, I've witnessed my elderly parents and friends (yes, I have elderly friends) go through coping with this negative permanent change to their day to day existence, and it is heartbreaking. It is an experience I can only logically expect to one day viscerally experience myself.

        I wish I could offer you more than sympathy, truly. I hope you can find some peace and joy in the probably brief reprieves from your sufferings.

          Thankfully medicine gets better every day! It’s not great, but it isn’t terrible. It’s just kind of “this sucks” rather than “I hate my life”.

          Thank you for your kind thoughts! 😊

    I work in trades and literally nobody is complaining about their hip under 60. This meme is a 16yo's idea of life in one's thirties.

      I've met enough people who don't work in trades, who are in their early 30s and complain a lot about knee and hip pain.

      I've also met people in their late 40s and 50s who have lower back pain so severe they are sometimes unable to move properly for days.

      But I agree, this is an exaggeration.

      So you're telling me that a meme may have exaggerated for comedic effect? No...

      Also I'm in my 30s and the only one of those I don't feel is hip pain.

    hey, you missed upper back pain!

    40 y/o here! I had my first migraine ever about 2 months ago, and boy did it suck. What's more, they decided to start happening semi-regularly because... who the fuck knows.

    Not my personality, though. I reserve that for my weird niche hobbies that nobody wants to hear about. Anyway, about my retail training video VHS collection...

    30? Damn I wish I made it that far. I think I've had chronic back pain for as long as I can remember. But that's because my spine is all messed up so I know I'm not a representative example here.

    I fortunately don't have any of this. I do exercise regularly but I wonder how long it is before some chronic pain starts appearing.

    I feel underrepresented here. I only experience migraines occasionally, and hardly any of the other pains pictured. That's not to say my health is in top condition. I'll be taking this to my lawyer, we are not done here
