Shoes impact on arthritis question
I had been diagnosed as having osteoarthritis in my right hip several years ago. I've handled the pain with occasional aspirin and really haven't had any problems. Within the last several days I've noticed that the dull "ache" has returned to the hip when walking. The only thing I've done different is buy a different type of shoe. In the past I've always bought sneakers with the air pokets in the soles. This latest pair is just regular cross trainers with no air pockets.
Question is, can shoes make that much of a difference in a situation like this? And if so, would inserts of some type be just as good as the "air pocket" shoes?
