I think once you get over 70 you have a right to grumble and moan now and then. You know the Bible even talks in Proverbs about wine being for old men, I suspect to dull some of the pain. Unfortunately alcohol in any form makes my stomach act up so it's not an alternative for me. There are some prescription medicines that might help you RM that aren't addictive. You should talk to your doctor so you don't have to live in a bunch of pain. My mom made it to a 100 but she said everyday was full of aches and pains. I know she was more than ready to go when her time came. She said she was worried that dad would think she didn't make it to Heaven. lol
