Shoes can make all the difference when it comes to lower extremeity complications or lack of.
There are many types of shoes ie road shoes, trail shoes, cushion shoes, and stability (or motion control) shoes in cross trainers and running shoes. Running shoes tend to have better cushioning all around.
Some people have somewhat rigid feet and others flexible. Both require a different type of shoe. Some pronate.
Most people focus on knee pain and shin splints when addressing shoes but hips take a lot of stress also.
Socks can also help. I recommend thorlo heavy duty running socks. Whatever socks you use bring them with you when you try shoes.
Along with a podiatrist try a sports physiologist, one that specializes in lower extremety performance.
As previously stated RA should be followed.
NSAIDS (nonsteriod anti inflammatory drugs) all have consequences GI bleed being the most common.
