Every injury I have had in my life has some holdover; to include the elbow at age 11, lower back at 14, and on and on... but it's the "itis" type stuff that freaks me out as I get older... tendinitis.. fasciitis... etc. Those things take forEVER to resolve, if they ever do.
My wife is doing a week+ backpack in the Yosemite area (the Muir trail) in a month and has a knee injury that happened in January that she still can't shake.. ironically the biggest improvement came after getting sick with a whole-body "bleah" type inflammatory response. Once that all calmed down, the knee was considerably better.
Aging bodies are just weird. I seem to have impacted my GOOD hip with all the walking funny from my bout of fasciitis. Greeeaaat.
