[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP HERE

WOW I just got home from work and read all these comments! First of all, like I’ve said, my DH goes to the doctor regularly. He’s on all kinds of medications to control his blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid etc.  When I met him he was overweight, but a lot more active. He does have pain, but the pain is due to lack of activity. I’m a gym rat and if I have to miss a week of working out I start feeling achy!  I can’t imagine never exercising. I’d be miserable too.  At our age it’s detrimental to move.  At nearly 60, I have zero pain, can climb 12 ft ladders, jump up on counters to change lightbulbs and swim laps with ease. We rarely hire handymen, because I can usually do it myself. Certainly not because we can’t afford it but because I like the challenge.  My mom constantly yells at me for climbing ladders because she thinks it’s so dangerous. But coming from a woman who was sedentary her whole life and now can barely walk, she doesn’t get it. For the last 30 yrs she’s been telling me, “wait till you get my age!” Haha Seeing my mom and my DH only motivates me more. [/quote]

What’s up with this post?  Jumping in counters and climbing ladders…Is your house some kind of obstacle course?  And why bring your mother into this?  She’s got to be close to 90.

You are so weird and nasty, OP.

No kidding!! OP you sound so self absorbed and judgemental. I love going for long walks but not with someone like you going on about how spectacular you are  :roll:. Somehow this post reminds me of Madonna's ex saying sleeping with her was like being in bed with gristle.

It sounds like your husband may have arthritis and/or other conditions causing pain. It's likely he doesn't mention it to his doctor. Some pain is complicated and some doctors don't follow up. It can be depressing not figuring out why you're in pain, especially when a spouse is condescending and judgemental. [/quote]
