A member asked:
I am 51 yr old woman, overweight. i have pain in both of my knees and my left ankle. the pain is horrible at nite. what sneaker do you suggest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sneakers: Are not the answer to your pain. Your first "step" (sorry) is finding out why those joints are hurting you. The weight may have something to do with it, but the fact that only 1 ankle hurts tells me it's not only the weight. You may have an arthritic condition that is best treated by means other than a certain sneaker. Go see your md and get evaluated first. Feel better!
