Body Aches?

[Mltiya75]

When does the achy feet go away?

[Esya]

That depends. What did you do? What kind of ache? Where in the foot is it aching? Is it an injury or not? What do you do while it is aching? Even when you know what it is, it can be different from person to person.

It could also be your shoes. If you are doing a lot you need to get fitted for the proper shoe

It is my legs.  Whenever I go over 10,000 steps, my feet aches.

Then your not wearing the proper shoes

You may indeed have poorly fitting shoes as @WendyB said. 

"Dr.," said her new patient, "my head hurts when I bang it against the wall."

"Fortunately," the Dr. said, "We have a new headbanger medicine to make it stop hurting when you bang your head against the wall." (Updated for modern doctors.)

The old Archie comic in Bazooka Bubble Gum said, "So, stop banging your head against the wall."

I suggest wearing your device for at least a week without trying to get extra steps. If a person is only averaging 2,000 steps a day, then work up slowly from there. Maybe 10 steps a day  or 70 steps a week. Set this as a maximum for each day. If you exceed it, rest for the day.

I do walking videos barefoot (and on hardwood floors) and wear sandals during the summer, and my feet don't ache. And because I don't own a car, I get quite a bit of walking in between home and bus stop, when transferring buses, and from bus stop to office. Not to mention I make sure I walk around the office once or twice an hour. So it could be your shoes or it could be something else. If you're fairly new to walking, it could be that your feet aren't used to it. Or there could be some other underlying issue.

@Mltiya75 It may be your shoes, but it could also be intermittent claudication caused by impaired blood flow to the legs and feet.  Maybe you should check to see if you have a good Pedal pulse.

@GershonSurge  The joke is: I saw a man who was banging his head against a brick wall.  I stopped and asked him why he was banging his head against a brick wall.  His answer was, because it feels so good when I stop.

These days, that man would be diagnosed as manic-depressive. It'd kind of like HIIT and LSD.

@Corney,

Actually, you aren't getting to the primordial cause, which is what I call dysfunctional diet disease. I promised myself I wouldn't mention food anymore, so I won't elaborate. Perhaps you could.

[Corney]

@Mltiya75  A simple solution to your problem is to wear another pair of comfortable shoes and walk 10K steps, if you no longer experience an ache in your feet, then it's your shoes.  If you still experience the same ache, then it's not your shoes and it may be do to intermittent claudication.  I'll not comment on your diet or anything else that deals with food.

[Corney]

@GershonSurge  Are you really talking about the " First recognizable aggregation of cells that will form a distinct organ or part of the embryo" as the cause of her achy feet?  That's awfully heavy thinking and way beyond my simple mind.  I belong to the group of people that believe in the KISS principle, keep it simple stupid.  And don't take it wrong, I'm not calling you stupid and I never will.

[GershonSurge]

@Corney,

I've missed our discussions while you were away. We don't really need to get back to the embryo, although many fetuses in the United States are already showing signs of Dysfunctional Diet Diseases. Did you know that all children over ten years old who have been eating the Standard American Diet should be considered to have gross evidence of heart disease? But we can leave that for another time.

Can you go just one step back from claudication? What causes it? How can it be cured?

It will eventually fade away on its own. Meanwhile, rest your foot. The area should be iced. Take pain relievers that are over-the-counter.
