Put on some clothes!

BTW, did you ever pick up a good pair of sneakers? I forgot to mention that I also tried Dr. Scholl's active inserts that were between $15 - $20 at Target successfully. The combo of better, padded sneakers and good insoles helped me very much.

ok, too much flesh. hmmmmm.

I do owe you a thanks for suggestions. Was near a Macy's and dropped in and received pretty good help, not great, and ended up purchasing but spent some money on Nike's which seemed supportive. I haven't been walking as much due to hip but its feeling better so walk less but somewhat and shoes feel okay. Icing has been a life saver after walk or biking. Thanks Scott for that suggestion.

Anyhow as per your suggestion will drop in Targets and see what they have.

Good.Glad to hear it has helped, even a little. Mobility and even moderate exercise is crucial to being as healthy as possible as we age.

I assume you had a brain lapse when you called me Scott. *:-$ don't tell anyone shh!

The clothes comment was just a joke. Guess it didn't come across well in writing. But please no nude shots! Don't think I would be able to take the shock *:D big grin

no, very good practical suggestions. you have a talent for cost saving ways to get practical benefits. true re exercise, just can't be totally fanatical.

There is actually a Scott. Runs Vitamin Works near me. From football in hs had hip injuries, needed hip replacement, so learned hard way. He brought up icing. very good to reduce inflammation.

okay, no flashing on the site.

What and how do you ice? Many of my muscles are quite sore after a round of golf. I've gotten some relief by taking an Alieve when I get home. Maybe icing would help. Cant fathom the logistics of a cold bath but maybe localized. Explain what you do. Thanks.

the beauty of it is its simple. I have ice packs kept in the fridge, or can use ice, or a good suggestion is frozen peas. Place a pac in a towel and say on my hip where the femur comes into the hip socket let the ice pac touch the skin on top of the sore area. Lie down or sit, relax when watching something and do it for about 20 minutes.

it reduces swelling. secondly, the theory of inflammation is that bacteria seek out a week area of the body and populate there, hence arthritis. so its more than just wear and tear but bacteria. the ice disperses them or terminates them, giving some relief.

twice a day I was advised. It is a staple in modern sports medicine. drug free and painless. no cordizone. worth the effort.

Thanks. I will look into giving it a try. May have some reusable ice packs around. Interesting about the whole bacteria thing.
