Walking is good but overdoing it may harm

Individuals with knee osteoarthritis experience symptoms including persistent pain after walking, stiffness upon waking or after sitting, joint swelling, and difficulty climbing stairs or standing up from a chair. Experts advise against rushing to reach a goal of 10,000 steps per day; instead, it is better to gradually start walking between 5,000 and 7,000 steps, taking into account the individual's health condition. Additionally, recommendations emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in low-impact activities such as swimming and cycling, strengthening the thigh and hip muscles to support the joints, and addressing injuries and persistent pain early to prevent condition deterioration and improve mobility.
