I try to encourage her when she wears them, but this was the first time she complained of knee problems. Not having worn heels myself, I did not know if this was a normal response or not. Maybe she will wear them more and learn how to walk in them over time with less discomfort. I try to make sure if she wears the 4", we have time to sit and rest her feet during the event.
Again, thanks for the information.

If your wife has progressed slowly to the 3" level without any problems, then her latest experience indicates that she is very near her height limit in high heels - especially if she has small feet. Do take things slowly, don't have her on her feet for long periods and do allow her to rest her feet if she needs to, avoid stairs and hills - especially winding ones, and by all means, have a pair of low heels handy in case she starts having severe pain.
It might also be a good idea to avoid sugars and alcohol, which have been known to contribute to arthritis.
