ANY OPINIONS ON INNER KNEE PAIN & CONNECTION TO POSITION OF FEET

[Guest guest]

I have been suffering with severe inner knee pain. I wear special deep shoes,

no heels, for many years by Finn Comfort ( because they are very wide and have

very comfortable orthotics ).

One of the many difficulties I have with this body of mine, is that my feet tend

to pronate. I would like to know, if there is any connection with the

following:

I have been experimenting lately, (as the knee pain has become so debilitating

that I cannot walk!) and rolled up some inner padding used for the insides of

winter boots, and have placed it

underneath the orthotic which is inside these shoes (these shoes have no backs

and so this can be done easily).

I have actually lifted my heels approximately 2inches and also placed some

padding where my arches are, so that helps a bit in pushing the pronation up a

bit. I hope any of you can understand what I am attempting to

explain.............???!!!

Anyways, since I have done this I have discovered that I have a bit less pain in

my knees. I have since been fooling around with the padding....making it

higher, lower, more on one side, etc. etc.

Has anyone ever had any experiences like this, or know what I am trying to

accomplish?

(I have in the past, had orthotics custom made and spent $300. several times,

and they are just laying in my closet....didn't do a thing) Although this is

very primitive, and do fall out

when I walk, I think I am onto something!!! I am able to walk with less knee

pain....... any opinions, suggestions, advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I also wanted to share this with others who have knee pain. There is a definite

connection to walking - and what is going on

inside your shoes. 100%!!!! Hope to hear from some of you about this. THANKS,
