Speaking as someone who is in line for the trifecta of "body falling apart", having had reconstructive surgery on both knees, chronic pain from whiplash from getting rear ended through an intersection by a drunk driver when I was 19, and having a dad who's had multiple back surgeries and now has this weird spinal implant thing installed in his back that he has to charge regularly and also supplement with a regime of medication, I guess I'll have to wait and see when those "bad back" genes hit me in full force but for now, I'd take bad knees and a bad back before a bad neck. Neck problems interfere with literally everything.
