Right. I just talked about back pain after Chase’s injury. If we take 10 random people off the street without back pain, 4 are probably going to have evidence of degenerative disc disease. But, no symptoms.
What about the dreaded “heel spurs”? I think 80% are asymptomatic. They don’t require any treatment.
Many 50 y/0 are going to have a degenerative rotator cuff tear, but no shoulder pain.
