A new study finds the key role of bone in regulating the fight or flight response. In response to alarm signals from the brain, nerves within bone release osteocalcin, which immediately lowers the parasympathetic "brake" and lets the fight or flight response take over!

https://m.phys.org/news/2019-09-bone-adrenaline-flight-response.html

This research is no surprise to anyone that studies or works with fascia, the connective tissue network of the body that is especially dense around the muscles. Fascia is known to play a huge role in the fight or flight nervous system and is also continuous with bone.

Although we think of bone as "solid," 20% of it is actually water, and electrical charges and movement of this water transmits mechanical messages through bone, just like it does through fascia. In fact some scientists call bone "mineralized fascia."

According to a recent review article, "bone is part of the fascial continuum...that constantly transmits and receives mechano-metabolic information." https://www.cureus.com/articles/16943-bone-tissue-is-an-integral-part-of-the-fascial-system

It is fascinating to see how scientists are unravelling the complex interplay between the nervous and musculoskeletal systems!

More humiliating micro injuries of aging:

• Woke up and stretched too strongly.

• Hopped a little to reach a high shelf.

• Jogged a half block to try to catch a bus (pulled a hamstring, still missed the bus).

• Sneezed while head turned! ⚠️

• Looked up at something on the ceiling for a few seconds too long. (Yep, it was a 🕷.)

For sure this is an aging thing, and everyone over the age of 50 knows all about it.

But it’s also something that every fibromyalgia patient knows, whether they are 20 or 60. Anyone with Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, at any age, can tell you similar stories. A little cervical myelopathy (spinal cord irritation) will do this too. Many autoimmune diseases make people “injury prone,” often for years before diagnosis.

And so on, and on, and on! The full list of conditions that can make you “injury prone” and hurty is disturbingly long. There are more paths to pain than anyone can ever even hear about, let alone reliably diagnose.

UPDATE (inspired by comments):

And then there’s also a weird gray zone between disease and age: basically AGING PREMATURELY due to overall poor fitness, lousy diet, and other stressors, via the fascinating mechanism of “inflammaging.” See:

"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."

We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.
