[|Human|] I have been diagnosed with osteo arthritis and have degenerative disk disease....I am 60 and female....I walk 5 or 6 times per wk and my feet have started hurting mostly on top and in arch....I have tried different walking shoes and nothing seems to help
[|AI|]  Hello, The symptoms you have described are typical of foot strain or plantar fasciitis. It typically occurs when you start exercises like walking in the initial few days. You have already changed your footwear, but still, I would recommend you to use footwear insoles or cushions like silicone insoles to decrease the pressure on your foot. Soak your both feet in lukewarm water for 15 minutes twice daily. You can apply any pain relieving gel for pain relief. I also would recommend you to avoid climbing stairs and to walk on plain surfaces. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
