    so I’m not sure why you’re assuming I don’t take care of myself

    If that’s the impression you got, my apologies. I was using your comment more as a soap box to preach the importance of taking care of the body and how much difference a little goes.

    My bad for forgetting that, in the end, I was replying to an individual. We can call this “getting carried away”. Doesn’t devalue what I said, but I certainly could’ve been a bit more conscious of the soap box.

    My only extra insight beyond your doctor’s much more valuable opinion is that doctors often focus on fixing a problem. But it’s very important to sustain a lifestyle that prevents problems from occurring. Skeletal, muscular, and the nervous system(s) are the failures of all “old injuries”. Reinforcing them and keeping them active prevents the most basic of injuries. It’s only cartridge issues that we can’t bolster, it just wears out if abused, never getting resilient.
