All my problems have been in my legs (dislocated left patella 4 times in 3 years in my late teens, left floater bone in the joint which made my knee seize up when I was about 30), so they haven't effected my playing.
I also have the obligatory tinnitus from using headphones too loud, and from having to stand up close to the ride cymbal in gigs for a few years.

Yeah I reckon mine was from the crash next to me in my old metal band
I think most of us of a certain age will have tinnitus, standing in front of double stacks back in the day doesn't help and neither do headphones today
how many teenagers are on the forum Pest ? I can only think of you, Aiden and Jacob

Nah I'm talking about teenagers in general, not here on the forum...
You'd be amazed at how low the level to cause damage can be over an extended period particularly with earbuds.
Not that 3 x 200W double stacks and 600W a side on the foldback isn't capable of some serious levels, don't worry about the audience when there's 1200W a side on the PA as well, they were there for a good time
I'm sure there a few of my vintage on here who have experienced the same type of setup
Seriously, what you think of as the edge, is probably a lot worse than you think...
Now having given the sermon I will add, do as I say, not as I did...
Over 30 years around the music industry, over 25 years in the diving game, almost 40 years competitively shooting. My ENT reckons it is a miracle I can hear at all
Oh to answer the original question - if you get to put the grand age of 50 behind you and you aren't carrying a few scars, dents and pains then you haven't actually lived.
