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.
Some daily badges like the âOlympic Sandleâ badge for walking 100,000 steps in a single day are close to impossible for anyone but the fittest walker. Then there are badges that will take even the fittest athletes months to achieve, like the prestigious lifetime badge âEarthâ which has you walking for 7400 miles.
