Have an overweight friend that started walking 3 miles a day a few months ago. He is a delivery man so he walks a lot in his job as well. Now after 4 months of the extra walking he is having knee and leg pain. After a month of his regular doctor not being able to help and providing pain killers he finally went to a physical therapist.

Physical therapist showed him he was walking duck footed, with his toes pointing outwards instead of he feet being parallel. Said it started bothering him because his daily walks were longer at a time and tiring the leg muscles.

The last few days he has been paying attention to keeping his feet parallel when walking and it has already gotten so much better he is off the pain meds.
