The wife and the kids provide my exercise, but I have to be careful because I have rheumatoid arthritis all over my body.
Quite often, while I'm getting up in the morning, I think my warranty is running out on these body parts because it's not working quite the way it used to.
I feel my knees changing - like, why do I have this pain when I'm running on the treadmill? What's going on with my lower back when I wake up in the morning? I just feel changes. And I'm definitely fearful in a very vain manner about my body ageing.
The knee was all deformed, bloodied up and leaking with puss. I just couldn't move it. Stiff. It was like I had a spare leg. All of my quad was skinny. It was like a pole with a pineapple in the middle of it.
It is better not to sit on the grass after thirty when sprawling at all is difficult, let alone sprawling gracefully.
I felt pain every night. After games, it took me a long time to walk to my car, and the driving home, it took me a couple of minutes even to get out of my car and extend my legs and just walk.
Something went wrong with my right arm. I no longer could throw hard, and it hurt like the dickens every time I threw.
You don't have niggles when you're 20. But as you get older you start to feel it.
Osteoarthritis is a tough thing, brother. If my knee was broke, I would have had it fixed. But my situation is totally different. It's painful as hell is all I can say.
When I was younger, my feet would hurt a lot, but you build up calluses and strength, and you don't feel as much pain there. But then again, it's a give and take. The older you get, you may feel pain in your back or your hips.
I wasn't able to explode, jump, run - not even walk without pain being in the back of my leg. Every time I bent my leg, even in a walking motion, I was wondering what was wrong with me. But I stuck with it.
I got injured at the Olympic Trials in 2000. I could not jump. I could not walk on my leg properly. I couldn't bend my knee. I couldn't straighten it.
I have osteoarthritis, which especially affects my knees.
I have osteoarthritis so bad... I can walk up a hill; I just can't walk down one.
For many years my inherited arthritis had given me problems.
I just turned 27 years old, and there are mornings where my knees and ankles really hurt. I hurt all over. I would hate to be me when I'm 35 years old. I'll be a basket case, but I will have a lot of memories.
I cannot stand for more than half an hour in one place.
I need to get up and walk around and keep my knees from getting bad, which is what's happening.
I'm 41 now and the right knee has got a bit of a twinge in it. I get about the stage a little less now.
I got a finger that's literally bone-on-bone. This bad boy, it gets smaller. The more and more I do, it grinds bone-on-bone.
If you spend all day on horseback, and you hop off, you walk around like you still have a horse between your legs. And it affects your shoulders. They fall.
Your hips get really stiff when you're stuck on a bike for several hours each day.
When I reached 80, my world turned upside down physically. I've had a lot of physical problems.
My back only bugs me when I sleep wrong. I feel my knee more than anything, the left one. It's arthritic.
Just ask anybody who is getting old - everything starts hurting. For me, it's my shoulders, thumbs, knees and feet.
