I have always walked, but since the diagnosis of knee arthritis, i have been anxious about it. Have to say my knee gets sore when i walk and i get pain after, i stopped for a while but realised that I have to move, so i have started again.
I walk about 3 to 5 miles a day, not a fantastic pace but at least I am moving.

Hi @fernster,
I really admire your determination to keep walking despite your knee arthritis! It’s great that you’ve found a balance that works for you. Even though your pace might not be fast, moving is what counts, and every step is progress! 😊 You might want to talk with your doctor or physiotherapist about managing the pain after walking. Sometimes, adjusting your walking surface or doing strengthening exercises can help with knee support.
How do you usually feel after your walks? Have you noticed any improvements in how your knee feels?
Take care,

Hi @limsonbros,
You’re absolutely right! Walking offers so many benefits for heart health, managing blood pressure, and even controlling blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. It’s such an accessible way to improve overall well-being. How often do you walk each day, and have you noticed any specific changes in your health since starting? Do you walk outdoors or prefer indoor options like a treadmill?
Looking forward to hearing more!

Because it is highly unlikely there will ever be a request regarding annual walking; and, after bouts of bullous pemphigoid, covid, pneumonia and two major storms, I managed to continue a yearly ritual, prompted by the state of Texas.
One fact even Texans don't know about Texas. You are not Texan just by being born here. We are Texans because we behave like Texans. My illustration of that independent resolve is to walk from, and back, to having my wife's ex-Personal Transportation Cruiser inspected.
The most recurring situation, from a congenital birth defect, is explaining; while I have absolutely no problem with being referred to as crippled, I will never, voluntarily, place myself in a position to be viewed as "a cripple".
My insistence, to avoid this, has even compelled me to sever personal relationships. Maintaing self-respect has boundaries; and, in the Lone Star State, they are well defined.

Hi @LifeDelineator,
That's a powerful reflection on independence and resilience! Walking truly represents more than just physical movement—it can also be about asserting control over our lives. How have these walks impacted your mindset, especially after all you've been through with your health?
Take care,

@Somya.P - Social media is rife with examples of those who are slighted by acts of bad intention; but, because insults usually come from strangers, there is no discussion of the one thing worse than mockery....disappointment.
Because social ostracization has become a fact of life; leers, taunts and social recoil are more an expectation than a surprise; however, disappointment is even worse, because you expected something better from that, trusted, individual. That is why strangers can be tolerated, but betrayal, even to the smallest degree, can not.
I am certain there are many who would not agree with my remedy; but, an objective application is a necessity, not a choice
