61 here and same thing, I'm currently scheduled to get a MRI then see a orthopedic surgeon for a consult about my knee.
Really pisses my off, 30 years ago I hauled a cast iron bathtub up the stairs with a furniture dolly.
I suppose I'm lucky to be surrounded by friendly construction workers who give me a hand moving heavy stuff up/down the stairs.
Kinda sad/embarrassing to feel like the old man in the neighborhood that needs the youngins to give him a hand (mind you these youngin are all in their 40's)
Yes I compensate them with a case of beer now and then.
Suppose I should count my lucky stars that I have the help nearby.
I do like light labor working in the yard, but I'm still working a 40 hour week and doing maintenance on two houses don't have a lot of time to do it.
Kinda why I'm looking at hand spoons so I can get away from the house for an hour or two at the range.
