IT SOUNDS LIKE a cliché, but turning 30 does leave you feeling somewhat upended; sometimes mentally, sometimes emotionally and sometimes physically.
And often times, all three.
Are you officially old now? Do other people think you’re officially old now? No wait, you can’t be officially old yet if you still care what other people think. Isn’t that the rule?
But try as you might to tell yourself that it’s no different from being in your 20s, actions speak louder than words, and it’s as clear as day to everyone around you that you’re now ticking the 30-35 box and haven’t a notion who’s bleating through your car radio at any given time.
And how do they know? Because all you talk about is how much random pain you’re in, that’s how.
Turns 30 a week ago. Wake up today in tremendous pain. Been bothered by a bad back for two days straight. #thisis30!? Lol. All I can do is laugh. Father Time, you funny bro.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and Twitter is here to remind you of that.
So, without further ado, meet your brothers and sisters.
Don’t even get us started on our backs.
Just another 31 year old googling "lower back pain relief"...#ThisIs30 #OldFart #BendAtTheKnees

75 minute of football has resulted in me losing all functionality in my hips, a screaming plantar facia and a pulled groin. #thisis30

When did 30 become searching for a pair of shoes that are good for your bad knees for a vacation with lots of walking #thisis30
— Brittney Phillips (@BWard31) March 29, 2018
You know you're 30 when you're forced to buy a foam roller because your knee is acting up from running. #thisis30
— Martin Ortiz (@newsortiz) September 1, 2016
Or our fragile little ankles.
I know I’m getting old because my ankles hurt from just...being upright for too long. #thisis30
— P.S. Wall (@BugEyes64) April 17, 2018
I have this weird pain in my ankle. Maybe it's the rain, but I bet it's 30. #ThisIs30 #oldfart

Propping your feet up at night to reduce swelling #thisis30
— This Is 30 (@ThisIs30) October 2, 2013
Oh, and then there’s the moment they all decide to give out at the same time.
Hello Twitter. I am sitting here with ice on my bum ankle, ice on my swollen eye, and a heating pad on my aching back.
— Steph Haberman (@StephLauren) July 22, 2018
No, I have not been in a car accident. My body has just decided to rapidly fall apart this week for some reason. #ThisIs30
