Getting Older SUCKS!!!
Well, old injuries are trying to remind me of what I did when I was young and that I will be paying for that **** the rest of my life.
Old back, shoulder, and hip injuries have made me have to lower my bars.
The Gangsters actual rise was 18.5" and I have gone back to the stock 10" with 5" risers for now. This is temporary and am looking for some better bars that suit me an my bike better.
Here is a current pic.

Sorry to hear about your problems. I'm going on 73 and I think getting older ROCKS!! Did a 200 mile Patriot Guard ride yesterday along with 200+ other riders escorting the Travelling Viet Nam War Memorial Wall honoring our fallen warriors and as a retired military from the Viet Nam era and for all the warriors fighting for our freedom today, it was great to be alive and honoring them.

Hell, I'm only 35 but put my physical self through hell in my teens (skating, fighting, etc...)
I'm just saying that I wish I had taken better care of myself back then and then I wouldn't be having these problems now.

Every time I say things like that around folks older than me, they tell me to just wait it gets better. As I write this I'm on the couch recovering from surgery yesterday to repair an elbow I broke last October

I feel ya, I was invincible as a kid, or so I thought. Skating, skiing, cliff climbing, jumping roofs, football, car accidents. My nose is the last part to break... And I've got another birthday coming next week... I'm thankful I've survived, but man it hurts just to wake up some days.

I always remember the quote from ragtime composer and pianist Eubie Blake at a dinner honoring his 100th birthday "If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself."
I think we just have to enjoy every moment we can. I try to do that with my lovely woman and my exciting FXDF.
