Exercise is always good, if you can do it.

I have problems with my left ankle, and hence recumbant bikes I can barely manage, or long walking or many stairs. I do them but limit the time on them. I also cannot do the resistance machines that tone the calves. Those really hurt me.

Anything compressive (tight fitting shoes) needs attention also for people with foot issues. Large toe box, etc., is important so the toes don't get compressed.

We had a fellow on the old board, who found swimming to be very therapeutic. So if you like this form of exercise, that would be an option.

Each person would be unique depending on where their pain issues are.
