Knees are agony

Anyone have advice on how to help sore knees? I wanted to do a run this evening but my knees feel like there’s no cushioning in them (if that makes sense?!)

Thanks ☀️

George24, have a look at NHS knee exercises. This will help strengthen the knees or see your doctor. Hope this helps

I use a knee support on my one knee and it really does help me 😁

As Twinkle says, I also use a knee support and so far have had no issues this time around

Knee supports are good I wore them for 2 weeks a while back and never had to use them again😊
