[quote=Anonymous]My mom just turned 85 and still walks pretty normally, albeit a lot more slowly than she used to. Up until about 80, she regularly walked 3-4 miles a day at a pretty brisk clip. Now she walks most days with a neighbor (weather permitting) but they are a lot slower and only go about a mile or so. She seems ok with stairs still (again, slower, and she does them one at a time). She started having a lot of back and knee issues about 2 or 3 years ago and it really impacted her mobility. She was able to get some injections eventually that helped, but it's creeping back again.[/quote]
