Yes, as we get older it gets tougher to do the things we did when younger. Add the injuries over the years and that just compounds things.
I try not to take many hard falls any more after the Neurosurgeon told me that the results of my MRI showed that my spinal cord splits into two and then comes back again. He said I should never have been able to do the things I've done. He said unless I lost functioning in my lower half, not to do anything and just deal with the shooting pains up my spine (the reason for the MRI). He didn't know if Hapkido would hurt anything or not, but cautioned me to be careful.

Your spinal cord split, is that a congenital defect? Or is it the result of an injury or Hapkido training?

Born with it that way. I had spina bifida surgery when I was a baby, or I'd have never walked. Useually, the slit spinal cord presents in kids too. Often requires more surgery, etc. Neurosurgeon didn't know how I was let into the Army, did all I did, etc. I was blessed I guess. Still, I try to be careful, don't want to do anything that could put me in a wheel chair now....
