39 y/o officer here and I've been having back problems lately. I miss the days when I was in my 20s and always had that energetic bounce whenever I'm on duty. Now it's just rotating pain between the different joints in my body. Anyone else who can relate to me?

24 y/o officer and it’s just started for me. My job is mostly desk work so getting a vertical mouse and an ergonomic keyboard have helped. Another thing is doing stretches and standing up while working occasionally. Another thing I do is a dead hang (the bottom part of a pull-up) for a couple of minutes in the morning before going in. Good luck!

Totally can relate! I've been doing cryotherapy for this very reason and I've really seen improvements. I only have access to a cold shower right now but the benefits for my joints/body aches have been remarkable.

I completely understand what you mean. I'm just turning 40, but I remember how tough it was when I first entered my 30s and my body was no longer able to keep up with the same intensity. It's been a difficult adjustment, but I've tried to focus on forms of exercise and stretching that are gentle and specially designed to help soothe the pains. I hope you're able to find something that helps keep your back feeling better!

Yep
