AIs , walking , joint pain - small tip

I have extolled the value of walking for me whilst on Letrozole for many reasons not the least being joint pain.Been having a bit of knee pain this week that was lingering  , my old sneakers were somewhat worn so bought new shoes and things seem much better. I may have learnt a lesson about the importance of supportive footwear and their impact on my joints too.

    Hey Romla,  do you do ITB stretches?  I found when I was walking/jogging a lot I was getting knee pain and the two causes were poorly fitting shoes and not doing ITB stretches.  :)

    Good tip @Romla! I have a dodgy big toe that used to give me a lot of trouble if I walked too far, too fast or on concrete. Then I started bushwalking and got some heavy duty hiking shoes. They give such good support that my toe pain is now no longer a problem.  :)
