How about your route? Bumpy as hell or smooth ?
I'm 60 and take glucosamine chondroitin, but can't say I'd like to see too many younger folks taking it prematurely.
I haven't really done any modifications to the bike. The handle bars are stock with a kinda inverted v look

How I hold the handlebars:

My grip is a little bit too much towards the end of the handlebars, it's more comfortable for me but a friend told me vibrations are more towards the end if the handlebars. About my route, it's mostly super smooth only a bit of bad road in.certain areas. I think the pain is caused maybe by the vibrations donno for sure tho

This is something I was a bit confused with. Does light exercises help the pain or does it worsen? If some push-ups could get rid of the pain I'd get rid of it in a jiffy
PS It's more muscle pain than joint pain. I know when you use your muscles too much it breaks down but builds up a little but better I think my body doesn't have enough protein to build it back up?
