57 and slow healing of injury is the #1 change I have noticed with aging. Not illnesses, those still resolve quickly, and allergies got better, skin got less inflammatory. Recovery from workout soreness seems about the same too.
But injury? I broke my arm when 7 or so, 6 weeks in a cast, couple more to feel normal. Broke my finger at 45 or so, TWO YEARS before it stopped swelling and was normal.
ETA - I don’t break more easily yet though. Overenthusiastic dog ran at me and knocked my feet out from under me on my deck the other day, nothing happened at all to my body, just got up and yelled at the dog.
