You may need any of the following: 1  Wrist supports: A cast or splint may be put on your fingers, hand, and wrist to support your wrist and prevent further damage. Ask for more information about wearing casts and splints. 2  NSAIDs: These medicines decrease swelling and pain. NSAIDs are available without a doctor's order.
Walking shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles (or every 3 to 6 months). Replace your shoes when you can tell the difference between your old pair and a new pair. Do not go by their appearance. The inner support can be very worn while they still look OK on the outside.
That is a lot of steps to trust to just any old shoe. Without the best walking shoes for your feet, you could end up with lifelong foot pain as you age. There are many who claim to be the best walking shoes. The truth is, most walking shoes are constructed very differently than the best walking shoes should be. Some shoes are comfortable when you slip them on, only to leave you with aching, painful feet after a few hours of wear. The reason is simple. Most shoes are flat inside which means they do not conform to your foot.
