      My joints are as good now as when I was 21, and they are supported by my broad range of glorious and balanced musculature.

        Doesn’t mean much if we don’t know your current age but joints in general are a weak point of the human anatomy

              Cartilage loss and bone fractures regenerate as long as genetic integrity is maintained, that’s why it’s widely considered an age related disease. Self repairing telomeres would keep you from having most later in life joint failures.

              As for arthritis and general aches and pains, those are more common after the human body stops developing, usually in the late twenties and early thirties and progressing onwards. You can also contribute to these pains by misusing or overusing joints, such as tennis elbow.
