Orthopedic inserts: otherwise known as orthotics, sounds like you need more support. Also talk to you primary about vitamin deficiencies. Brittle bones could be a systemic serious issue. Orthotics can provide better distribution of your weight. They are devices that fit in your shoes. They are thin and don't take up much space
