What do you mean when you say "take" the recoil, and how much of it do you "take"?If at 80 yrs old I can take the recoil, you youngsters certainly should be able to handle it.
Most "youngsters" can "take" a heavy drinking binge or two, but regular consumption of large amounts of alcohol can cause serious permanent damage.
The same thing is true for smoking; using smokes tobacco; exposure to loud noises without hearing protection; exposure to the sun; repeated blows to the head; and pitching a baseball too much without rest, and certain other repetitive motions.
As it happens, heavy recoil falls into that category, also.
