Walking Saved Margaret’s Aching Joints

This woman, in her late 70s, was told by doctors to stop walking. Her knees were grinding.

Her hips ached with every step. She ignored them and walked anyway. And what happened

next shocked even her physicians. It's 2019, a quiet suburban neighborhood.

This woman had been active her whole life, tennis, hiking,

dancing at weddings. But age caught up. Her joints screamed. X-rays showed bone-on-bone contact.

"You need to rest," the doctors said. "Walking will make it worse." So she stopped.

For six months, she barely moved, and that's when things got really bad.

And for a while, she listened, she rested, she sat, she avoided stairs.
