I’d say that’s a decent post and the answer I’m guessing is somewhere in between, medication to get you right short term, life style adjustments and just thinking about stuff for longer term.
We all know as older blokes that kneeling on a hard, cold surface now days will have us hobbling about for a few days….so we don’t do it, we think about it.
Thats what you have to start doing as you get older unfortunately.
