Glad to hear it! Amazing what Orthotics (footbeds) can fix. I would still recommend the bike and ice route also. It is great for quad muscle strength which really help your knees. You can use a stationary bike to both warm up before and cool down after your hikes. Ice and Motrin can help you rebound for the next days hike too. If you have access to a gym, a stair-master or versa-climber is a great way to rebuild leg strength.
