Yes, I'm scared about over-doing it too. When I walk too much it makes my feet hurt....deep. A deep aching bone pain type. The joints in both big toes get very sore, moreso the left one than the right. Possible gout...? My doctor wants to treat it as such. She gave me Indocin but I'm afraid to take it cause it *will* tear up my stomach.

On the other hand I have been pushing myself around here. We live on the second story of a building. A very old building. The business we work with and for is up front. So I walk back and forth from here to there several times a day at least. When we moved in it was supposed to be temporary but it's turned into almost 2 years here now. Which means many of our boxes are still sitting out in the hallway. Now I finally have somewhere to put them so I'm going to work on that a bit at a time.

At least my pain is of a level that is easily controlled by Tramadol when I *do* need something. It used to be much worse.

Hope this works for you.
