I am starting to agree with this. I actually see these Crossfit people and cringe as I bet a lot of them are going to suffer in a couple of decades. You can't tell them that now, though.

Thanks for the responses. It's somewhat comforting to hear that I am not the only one... My wife tried to tell me it was diet related and that eating "anti-inflammatory" foods would solve the problem. Not that simple...

My current worry is that everything I do is taking more life out of my joints. OTC pain meds still help, so that's where I am right now. The orthopedic doctor prescribed Celebrex, but my insurance refused to pay for it (and it was not cheap).
