Can't get up and down at 30 - Aging Issues Message Board

I have had this problem since before the age of 30. It makes me look like I'm 90. I have to have help to get out of a low chair and help getting up stairs. can some one tell me what the problem is?

Not trying to be rude, but, are you over-weight? Even at your age, you could have arthritis and this affects getting up and down. Do you sit a lot on your job? We all get sore and stiff joints if we do not move around a lot. Fatigue could be another factor. Alsom our diet affects the way we move around. Try to eat properly.
Just a few suggestions and do not know if any of the above concerns your life style.

Good Luck and God Bless

Hi there -

Have you been checked for fibromyalgia? Sounds like a classic symptom!!
