minus-squareSmoogs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoI’m dubious if a doctor would say that. That could be dismissing types of arthritis that has nothing to do with injury. Additionally some injuries don’t just immediately stop hurting when you are young. They can linger and get more fragile as you’re older. The ones that don’t hurt later like stubbing toes, sure. That is realistic. Getting mowed by a car, not so much.that would stick with you.
