Couch to 5k With Arthritis

[WildFlower64]

Hi all, I have just completed week 2 & I am having real problems with my knee - can anyone suggest a knee brace that may help?

A friend who has arthritic knees uses one of these for skiing - not sure whether it will fix the problem but might be worth a try at the price.

I too have arthritis and tried the couch to 5K and like you found it flared up my knee in particular and I am unable to continue as a result. I also do aqua fit and regularly swim and have been advised by my doctor to maintain this form of exercise as the stress on the knee from jogging is too great and makes a painful condition worse so much so that it looks as though I may need surgery, Hope this helps guide you to the right choices of exercise to maintain you health without aggravating your arthritis.
