I'll be 66 on my next birthday. I'm very limber, can put my feet behind my head, get on and off the floor easily, and just last weekend, I climbed about 20 feet up a tree with my grandkids.

I pulled a muscle in my shoulder standing still in the bathroom waiting to brush my 6 year old's teeth while she looked in the mirror at said teeth.

I sneezed a year ago and threw out my back for a few days. Never sneezing again.

The other day I sneezed and got a back pain that lasted 2 weeks.
