Hi everyone.....a lot of us have the walking problem, from walking like the "tin man" to the "looking like we're drunk" walk (and for most, we go through these stages at different times of any day). My question is....does anyone have any experience or idea of the long term affect on our joint's? I ask this because it sure feels like my knee's are losing their "shock absorber" ability and starting to really hurt by the end of the day. Of course the follow-up answer to that would be use a walker more to put more pressure on the upper body and not as much on our legs. I just wondered if anyone ended up having I guess what you call a side effect of acual "joint" problems from the way we were forced to change our walking style (gait).
