yes. current medical science is having issues treating simple thing with humans (paralysis or any thing related to it ). solving aging, may be in next 500 years.

Solving aging isn't the sum of all other cures.

It could be just another track of medicine we haven't really begun to formalize correctly

"Humans overestimate progress in the short term and over estimate it in the long term."

You're discounting the law of accelerated returns. It might take another 50 years to make a "big discovery/milestone in curing aging" but from that point forward it might become a lot easier to cure aging.
