That is atypical.
Now if you become one with a chair for most of the day, expect it in your 40s. And expect an active 80+ year old to physically kick your ass by the time you hit 60.
But 30s? That’s an outlier.
If the wheel was emotional pain, I think it would be more appropriate.
Psychic troubles will sooner or later affect the body and might explain what the meme describes.
Hey I’m exceptional at something at last.

it early killed me.
Prophetic typo
Back pain stared when I was 10 then my knees in my mid 20s. Buy a good mattress and go to the gym people!
I dunno about it being as much of an outlier nowadays. People seem to sit a lot for their jobs, and then glue themselves to their couch when they get home.
Getting up and walking around a bit goes a long way.
You underestimate my unity with my chair.
Dude you have to exercise and stretch. I actually went to a “movement specialist” personal trainer for a couple of sessions and that helped a lot. My near constant back pain is non-existent now.
Personal trainers are awesome. If you can’t afford one:
-
find a friend to work out with. Preferably at your same physical level. Look for workouts or support online.
-
get as much medical care as you can afford. A lot of small problems in your 30s can turn into big problems in your 40s.
Good suggestions, the key is to break a sweat as many days as you can, consistently and sustainably.
Another option is taking tai chi, yoga, or shotokan with a good instructor; good instructors can be hard to find though.
All three of those have really helped me at different times, particularly with posture and movement (tai chi the most, but it takes the longest to actually be able to do it).
Never done Pilates but I’ve heard very positive things about it.
Yes, Pilates is great! Still need to find a new course for after work (old one is not campatible with my work hours anymore), but at least 34 km on 3 to 4 days by bike is my current workout. Don’t do home office unless you use the time saved for something like Pilates, jogging or other recommandations from above.

That’s not normal dude.
You are correct. It is for someone in their 50’s. My thirties were carefree physically. In my fifties, spin that wheel.
Take care of your bodies, folks. Repairing any of this requires a ton more work (if it can be done) than just treating it right in the first place. Random injuries nonwithstanding.
Everything hurts in your 30’s!? What kind of rough city-miles have you put on yourself?
I assume most meme makers live sedintary lives which has their own forms of wear and tear (always sitting, poor posture, lots of concrete surfaces) and not exercising enough makes any physical labor hurt more becase they aren’t used to it.
Big generalization but that also describes me when left to my own devices. I felt a lot better getting outside and working mildly physical jobs
Everything hurting for no discernable reason isn’t normal at your age. The difference between your 20s and 30s is that in your 20s you don’t need to do anything to not hurt. In your 30s and beyond you’re gonna need to start taking care of yourself in order to not hurt. The pain is your body telling you something is wrong. Could be sleep apnea, hypertension, lack of activity or not enough recovery after activity. Again though, pain all the time for no reason isn’t actually normal until much later in life.
Vitamin D deficiency can cause all kinds of crazy ass symptoms too.
Is this really how people who aren’t disabled feel all the time?? I have had significant daily pain for close to 20 years at this point and I’m not 40 yet. 🥲
I don’t understand this. I’m 32, I’ve been working labour intensive construction jobs since I was 18, and before that I played football, rugby and hockey pretty much year round. I’ve been pretty tough on my body pretty much my whole life.
99% of days I wake up feeling completely fine. Some times I’ll have a sore back or neck or something, generally from lifting heavy shit or just overworking. Then a few days of recovery, I feel fine. All these memes I see of 30 year olds acting like they are 75 are just so stupid.
I actually started going to the gym a few weeks ago not having done proper physical exercise in the last 13 years. A large portion of the random pains and cartilage grinding are just straight up gone already.
30’s is still quite young. OP needs to get himself checked out and get himself in shape.
That’s because you’re active. Being a couch potato is one of the most damaging things you can do to your body. An object at rest stays at rest… forever.
If everything hurts in your thirties you might need to take stock as to why. If you aren’t in a labor intensive job and you don’t have a history of accidents you might consider changing your behaviors to try to reduce how much chronic pain you experience.
Yeah. I’m 44 and in terrible shape (in terms of exercise, etc.), but even so, I’m a long way from “everything hurts”.
Don’t smoke kids
Deep fry them instead?
Yeah I grind up my kids and snort them, much more effective
Ah to be 30 again 😌
In western countries (likely where the author of this comic is from), the biological age of people in their 30s is far more likely to be somewhere in their 20s. I doubt most 30 year olds feel as old as they joke about.
It only gets worse. 40s suck more…
this is inaccurate. the only thing that hurts in your thirties is your financial security and your aesthetic pride
sincerely, a millennial who had a birthday yesterday
Jokes on you I’ve had fibromyalgia since my early 20s.
Anyone else here in the chronic pain club?
Truth. Body parts you didn’t even know you had will start hurting lol.
Have an extra bone (os) in your foot? Get ready to discover it!
Best part of getting older, I’ve learned quite a bit about human anatomy. How to interpret MRIs, X-rays, and how to accurately describe pains to my doctors for the most effective diagnoses and treatments.
Idk how to link a community on mobile but… It sounds like some of y’all might want to join us at [email protected] :)
