As you know, your eyes go through a lot of changes as you age. If you've recently had to start reaching for a pair of reading glasses or have had to ask someone next to you in the grocery store what a label says, you're probably experiencing normal age-related vision loss.

A knee injury can be a remarkably debilitating problem to experience. In addition to causing severe pain, these injuries can also hamper a person's ability to move around.

However, not long after that, those same celebrities are back in trouble and/or rehab for the same issue.
