My knees recently and my back (started at the same time, about a few months ago) persistently remind me that I ain't getting any younger either.

With me it's my knees, my back, and my right hip (which, if I live much longer, will need a replacement). All of those began bothering me about five years ago. I have been through enough illness this century (some of which would likely have killed me in the early 1900s) that I consider myself fortunate to be in somewhat decrepit but otherwise healthy condition.
