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.
A Healthy Person Can Walk 20 to 30 Miles in a Day. But how far could a fit, trained person walk in eight hours? Many trained walkers finish the 26.2 mile Portland Marathon in about seven hours, with no breaks. If the walker is taking breaks and a meal stop, then 20 miles a day is reasonable for a well-trained walker. If they took no breaks and were going fast, they may be able to cover 30 miles.
