I have been having a lot of trouble with my right ankle. One of the PA's I work with at an urgent care (I'm a nurse) says it has to do with my gait and that I tend to over pronate my foot (turn it inward) I also have flat feet and it is stretching the tendons in my ankle too much. He recommends orthotics for my shoes, I am working on finding ones that are good and that I can afford. My question is does anyone do any particular type of exercise that is easier on the joints other than swimming? I love to walk, but it has been difficult lately. I take a lot of ibuprofen and I know that I am going to have to give that up. I know that exercise would help with the weight loss and maintenance. Thanks for any suggestions and thoughts on the subject.
