I played tennis for years too-25 years, 15 of those on a team. I injured both knees, my shoulder, and back and finally had to quit. Pickleball is so much easier on the body than tennis.
We took pickleball 101, 102, and 103 (103 a couple of times) and continue to take intermediate clinics. They all encourage safety and proper shoes. I would encourage newcomers, if they are interested in a court sport, to take these classes and learn the do's and don'ts.
There are roughly 150 pickleball courts in TV. People are playing it and having fun. I wouldn't discourage playing it. I would encourage learning the proper form, though. Just my opinion.
I'm very glad you have overcome your health issues and wish you continued good health, Carl.
