Dude! This is a great post. Us men have to get way better at talking about our issues, especially our health issues. So many older guys have died or become disabled because of totally preventable issues that they ignored or were too shy or scared to see a doctor about. It's a massive problem.
This video of Ryan Reynolds and Rob getting colonoscopies is perfect for exactly that reason, just destigmatizes the whole thing.
I've been doing cardio kickboxing in the mornings and while I'm currently fitter than the younger guys, I'm getting bogged down by tendonitis issues that no one else seems to have to worry about... so that's fun.
