Joint pain. Here’s my guess. Not a doctor. Just more common sense. We have less, and not as ‘working’ cells and other vital components of blood. You can’t change one thing in the body without affecting everything else. I was surfing this weekend, and when I came back my knee was aching. I didn’t recall doing anything weird to it…but I had an older injury which never really surfaced until yesterday. I imagine our blood does more than just bring food and air to the rest of our bodies, it acts in other ways which are not obvious. Having less of this vital liquid streaming through our bodies, I can see, could cause joint pain in people, not everyone. But if it’s affecting you, then there you go. I’m backing off lots on some of the more ‘dangerous’ sports I’ve usually done, since the risk benefit doesn’t make sense anymore.
