I'm 52, and an office/field type (consulting geologist). I love to be active and get out in the field, do all my own wrenching, home repairs, yard work, like to ski etc. etc.
Year and a half ago I had to have my scoliosis fixed (6 fused lumbar vertebrae and 2, 15-inch titanium rods/14 screws back there now). Still do all of these things described above (except haven't tried the skiing yet), but they can be pretty exhausting.
The twisted part is the thing that really ties me up in knots is sitting at the damn desk. Takes me several seconds to straighten my self up after a couple of hours on the keyboard or phone - it's just plain sick.
Whatever you do, take all of the precautions you can to limit the wear and tear on your body. It seems like it takes forever to recover the older we get.
