Hey all. Middle aged guy here. I experience body pain in the morning when I get out of bed. It gets better in 15 minutes as I warm up. Anything I can do or is this part of aging and nothing can be done?

What do you mean by bloody pain? Like pain, but somewhere in the body?

I mean I'm 47 and lift weights 4 days a week. There's usually always something sore these days . But then there is sore and then there is actual pain.

Did heavy squats this AM, I'll get out of bed stiff for the first 5 minutes tomorrow AM and then be good.
I'm 42.

Where specifically? Back? Legs? Neck? Shoulders? Is it more muscle stiffness and tightness? Or is the joints that seem a bit rusty in the morning? And is it true pain? Or like a discomfort?
Hard to say. What's your current routine?
In general, there's a saying in sports medicine world - "Motion is lotion." The less you move the stiffer you become. So keep moving, and keep mobile, especially if it's your joints. If it's your muscles, is it due to inadequate recovery? Or not sufficient working out? Maybe you need soft tissue work, or more stretching.

OP, do you take any prescriptions?

I do a 25 minute session of yoga every other day ( in addition to cardio and resistance training)
No aches. No pain. Increased flexibility.
I hate yoga, but it really helps.
I'm 65

I'll bet you a $100 bucks i's inflammation from bread and sugar. I had the exact same symptoms. Get out of bed in the morning feeling like a 90 year old man.
I cut out all bread and sugar during the keto craze and the first thing I noticed is that nothing hurt in the morning. I was limber like in my 20s.
Do an experiment for one month. It's life changing.

Legs are fine. I mean mainly upper body. Shoulders and lower back. Neck is okay.
The last 2 weeks have been particularly bad. I have been sitting a lot during my job search with interviews and training stuff. I believe that causes lower back pain and it was excruciating for about a week. Then I go to the gym and do the torso twist machine thinking I wanted to strengthen it. The pain came back and is slowly subsiding.
I probably need to go on daily walk/jogs in the evening since I spend most of the day at my desk.
