    OA shoes?

    I am 20 years old and was recently diagnosed with early osteoarthritis in my big toes. Does anyone have any shoe suggestions? I have Oofos flip flops that have nice arches but I need something for walking around campus all day. And I was wondering if Chacos would be any good.

I went to the local orthopedic health system and they took xrays and said it "looked like" arthritis in the hip joint. They set me up for a cortisone shot and physical therapy.

    ankle joint inflammation..

It’s given me trouble for nearly a year now and the doctor diagnosed it as an inflamed ankle joint. The end of my foot swells along with my toes but my ankle itself does not.

    Shoes for osteoarthritis

    My doctor recommended Dansko! Boy he saved me. I have now had subtalar fusion in both ankles. These shoes helped before and after.

    Arthroscopic Partial Meniscus Removal

    Dear Doctors, I've had an old knee injury from hyperextending and crushing part of my meniscus when I was 18 playing basketball. I never got surgery, only physio. Over the last 14 years or so, I've been able to largely function by doing lots of exercise, stretching, and could function at a high level in basketball. As I've gotten older and less active, I've noticed more knee clicking and irritation only when I play sports, or on intense hikes Last month I went for an MRI under surgeons....
