it'll only get worse, so prepare for it

The pain was sudden and so bad I'd just hunch over and breathe fast until it passed. I feel for ya. Probably up there with the worst pain experienced in this life, so far (63+).

I'll be 75 next month, and have so many pains from so many areas, that sharp acute pangs are commonplace to me. Along my life's journey, I think I've broken about everything, at least once, because I've been regarded as reckless, a mad dog, "never-lift" (at the dragstrip), and a "kamikaze", due to my early life's approach to danger or never realizing my limitations.
Even after I did calm down, becoming a mild dog not a mad dog, in my 50's, I still try lifting more than I should, and never accepted backing away from physical challenges (I now face days or weeks of painful recovery when I exceed those limits). Bad old habits, literally "die-hard" habits, remain with me.
Though I very rarely have ever used one, I now have canes, walking sticks, and a homemade shillelagh placed strategically, with two in my X5 (moving them to my other vehicles, if I'm out and about, solo). With two bad legs, sciatica also in both, trick knees, peroneal tendinitis, also in both, I never know if/when I'll need one (but false pride has kept me from using foresight, and carrying one in public, so far). Maybe next month ??
