    I have that sadly. I am 75 this month and it has been gradual. I now cannot sit on most chairs. I have arthritis in the neck, shoulders and spine. It is debilitating. It is also not visible so people do not realize, not even people close to me. Also, now I have issues with my eyes. Old age is awful for some of us. If you are young it is worse because you need to work.
