Pain is very hard on the body when it is in long duration and severe and can be very mentally and emotionally draining.

..yeah, those physical pains that people live with every day and just go on endlessly, a truly horrid thing and as you say, as people get older, the body doesn't recover so quickly and also depending on each individual as well...it's all very 'aging' and draining..I'm so sorry a bout your mum and you as well..
