My two cents worth. The average age in the villages is 70. I am one year over average.
Back, knee, neck pain is almost a given.

I good book, a little out of date is called CROOKED. It covers drugs, surgery, acupuncture, and exercise. I AM NOT A DOCTOR. Drugs, the best pain cover up drugs are opioids, we know or should know they are addictive and over time the results diminish. Steroids are not addictive but again the results diminish with each treatment. Back surgery, 50% of the time is a failure and the side effects can be worse that you started with.

Irony-Ponce de Leon came to Florida looking for the fountain of youth and they put the villages here.
