It is totally down to what state your body is in. Everyone ages differently, if you've had some for of trauma at some point and you've damaged yourself will have a bearing on how "flexible" you still are and what you can do.

I'm hoping things will improve, but it's been 6 months for me. It's frustrating.

Oh, I'm 45.

Back problems are blummin awful - two degenerated discs squashed my sciatic nerve a few years ago then my right knee gave up and, as you say, it aged me overnight. A lifetime of riding motorbikes and flippin gardening does the damage :¬(
Having said that I find being under the car fine, it bending for jobs under the bonnet or in the footwell that gets tricky. Most of all I miss Squash & Badminton & chucking the grandkids about.
