Left wrist. I can't twist it a certain way now that I am a tad older. This is from landing on it over the years during bike racing. If my hand is on top of the handle bar and I don't pay attention, hit a big bump, twist it wrong, especially when I had those damn aero flat bars, I feel it.
Left shoulder started to go frozen. Range of motion was about 60-70%. Can't scratch a certain part of my back without a good amount of pain. Doc gave me anti inflammatory pills. Work for few days. Friend recommended that I go see chiropractor. The same day, my foot was killing me so I went to my guy for a cheap Chinese foot message. This old dude kills me and know what my needs are with my stinky feet. Instead, he twisted my upper body to stretch me only to hear me scream when me pulled on my arm. He spoke no English and decided to work on my poor arm and shoulder. He was kicking my ass while hitting all the necessary pressure points or just working out the knots in my muscles around the area. After an hour of that painful experience, I finally had full range of motion back in over a year. I went back three time after that and have free range of motion, 100%. Worth the 30 bucks an hour. I do simple weights, 3-5 lbs couple time a week lifting over my head, back and forth to strengthen my muscles around the shoulder which they never get used much now days. Its has worked wonders for me so far.
Now the big one. Born with flat feet. It never bother me until around 45. I went to SEMA and couldn't walk or stand for more then two to three hours. It was kicking my teeth in having to sit and rest after an hour of walking. Due to my flat feet, they pronate to the point that it puts a lot of stress on the tendon right under my ankle on the inside. I have tendonitis there constantly but OK to ride for many hard miles. After the ride, I feel it but not too bad. Custom orthopedics insole fixed that and now I can stand for 5-6 hours without pain.
