Running with bad knees
Posted: Tue Feb 25, 2020 11:09 am
Hello,
I just got back from a physical with my doctor and he told me that I should stop running as I have osteoarthritis in my left knee. I'm only 36 years old and I was devastated by the news.
I'm wondering if anyone here has experience running with arthritis in the knees, if they have any suggestions on braces or sleeves that help, etc.
I should mention that I have very flat feet and use orthotics in my running shoes.
I don't want my running days to be over already, but I also don't want to mess my knees up so bad I can't walk by the time i'm 60.
Thanks
