There will always be those who have it better or worse.Sounds to me like you got it pretty good. Things could be much worse.

Briefs over boxers and you would not have that problem err well maybe its not a problem when someone goes to kick your sackI have naturally oily skin so I don't have the cracking problems. However, it looks like I'll be able to tuck my nuts into my socks before long.
I’ve put ice on a few skin tags and then clipped them off when they were numb. Works well!
I use this stuff, especially on my hands and cuticles in winter. Can heal cracks in the skin overnight.Aloe Vera.
Easy to grow and nearly every decent salve contains a derivative of it.
Or lanolin. Aloe Vera doesn't drink or eat.
$6 million dollar man.I just turned 70 and not too much deterioration going on the outside. Inside is another story due to arthritis and being a jock in my younger days.
Tally so far:
Back Surgery - micro disketomy
Right knee partial replacement
Left hip replacement
Both wrists fused.
Left knee will going bye-bye in about 6 months....gotta get past tax season or it would be done ASAP.
gll,
Thanks for the tip on the WWC - My cuticles split like crazy once actual cold weather kicks in, but todays high is predicted to be 79 F...downright 'tropical' right now.
So no problem...yet.
I need a refund then....I move like the $.60 man.$6 million dollar man.
Not only have they caught up with us, they are beating us with a spiked club....
Ah, yes, our one time athletic pursuits have caught up with us, but I'd still rather not have been a couch potato.
In my case I was a decent enough ballplayer to get a full-ride at Arizona State in the early 70's. Also made it to the minors (AA) before I ran out of talent. The only issue is that I was dumb enough to be a catcher. I'm still i contact with a few guys who made it all the way and they are also a mess physically.OldPhart,
Many of us here are in a similar medical/surgical boat right along with you and without such treatment we'd all be (well, some of us, me...) be dead long ago...
Now, let me show you my numerous scars...but, be brave as they're...frightening to look at.
They would be the envy of Frankenstein...and no doubt yours would be too.
My latest consideration is getting both shoulders replaced - ok, not gonna do it as the post surgical therapy is daunting...I'd rather live with the pain and just try to keep my screaming under control...

Itchy ass dried out calves, but I have getting that for ever. Not sure, but my feet get these tiny dried out dots, gotta be mini warts. Ingrown hairs, carbuncle, frunkles & boils. Got turned onto this black tar ointment that with draw the nastiest ingrown hairs. You know the ones that get infected the fill with some funky blood, puss & tissue fluids.

I was still active in the game until my mid-50's, playing in Senior Leagues and a fast-pitch team my friend started. First the back went, surgery fixed that. Then everything got progressively worse. It was little by little kind of like Chinese water torture. I know some ex-ballplayers who are in worse shape than me. It's why they call catchers equipment "the tools of the ignorant".I know some ex-pro athletes and they all work out every day. Apparently keeping the muscles strong prevents some major issues with joints.
A couple look like they could lace them today and they are in their 40’s.
