If everything hurts in your thirties you might need to take stock as to why. If you aren't in a labor intensive job and you don't have a history of accidents you might consider changing your behaviors to try to reduce how much chronic pain you experience.

Unfortunately, it's not always that easy. I tried so many things, so many types of sports, been to so many doctors and specialists and none of that really helped. I know it's important to stay active and I am, and I think I found a routine that's giving me some relief, but it's not like it's going away. Years ago, I would've said similar things like you, but chronic pain really is a complex thing
