Feeling old…

When I carry my toddler to bed my left knee pops with every step 😂

I am a ftm of a 3 and a half month old little boy. I am 35 and within the next month or two I will be getting a full left knee replacement due to arthritis. I definitely feel this post lol. 😄

Keep moving keep active! The more we move our bodies the more the joints and muscles actually get used and will hurt less. A physical hobby is great for making friends at our age too if not just for the physical aspect, the socialising aspect of a walking/hiking/cycling group, or fitness classes like Pilates/yoga/Zumba/heels/pole/salsa bachata and the like. It’s breaks up our week, gives us something to look forward to and we start knowing who everyone is and they start to know us as well. It becomes a “community”. The Zumba community is huge all over the world, so is the dance community. I actually didn’t know how big/popular until I started. It’s like a whole other world I did not know about. I also get 19k steps after a night of salsa dancing! Keeps me fit for sure, coordination memory stamina etc. brings a much needed dose of dopamine as well. For now since you are 3m try pace walking w the pram.

Yup, my ankle popped every time I used to walk out of my sons room and woke him up all the time hahah
