Well... if a ship left the dock, there is only that much that can be repaired while its swimming.

this is why we always want to refactor
Human body from birth to age 29: I am invincible!
Human body once you hit 30: Hey, remember that time your knee was sore for an hour when you were 12? Well now it's gonna be sore for the rest of your life
Human body: I can grow a fully formed human baby OR regrow your big toe nail in like 9 months.
If you would like a brand new big toe nail, simply get pregnant and produce a baby.
tail bone fracture enters the chat
What's special about tailbone fractures?
I have met 35+ plus people who fractured their tailbones when they were kids and it still hurts once in a while
I used to crack my thumb a lot when I was I jr high.
Now that in 40, it's perpetually sore
Human Body?
Like Disco Elysium
I walk the land telling whores and liars of the end to come. There are 9,855 days remaining.
Hmm sounds like they got old. Getting old is widely known to adversely affect your health.
It's one of the leading causes of death actually
If you’re over thirty and your joint injury isn’t healing, take collagen.
The efficacy of taking collagen specifically is very much in question. It seems to be about as effective (but much more expensive) than just increasing protein consumption.
There are things you can do, like apply heat and to an extent certain supplements can help (glucosamine and turmeric are the notable ones that have evidence to support them). That said the main thing that really helps is doing dedicated and systematic strength and mobily training for your ankle.
In my experience, injuries go from not healing to healing when I take collagen.
Probably that's a combination of placebo and the result of the fact that collagen is a protein supplement. You can most likely get the same result by using whey or other proteins for much lower cost.
What people tend to forget about infants and small children is that they are constantly exercising, eating a ton of calories, and then getting tons of sleep.
Adults, by contrast, tend to be very sedentary with slower metabolism and a ton of anxiety from stimulants/stress that prevent long, regular rest cycles.
Also, incidentally, if you really want to fuck up a child early in life... Malnutrition, immobility, anxiety, irregular sleep cycles, and lots of stimulants (particularly cigarettes) will have your teenagers looking geriatric.
The primary difference isn't the exercise but the level of human growth hormone, which starts to drop after age 30
Unless you're in the early-'00s MLB.
Behold the power of stem cells
have you tried putting that ankle in a uterus for most of a year
I've tried, the cops keep stopping me.
This is the best description of stem cell therapy I've ever seen.
