Sore Knees 😥

[Nicola-D]

Can anyone advise, as soon as I start any exercise my knees ache. I dont have arthritis so what can it be?

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Depends what you are doing? if it’s walking or running it could be your shoes, a gait analysis at a running shop can be a good idea

Hope you can continue with your exercise

It could be your shoes. Other things might be reaching forward and striking the ground with your heel, sending stress up your shins; not doing enough warm up stretches; running too fast, or needing to strengthen the muscles around the knee. Have a look over on the strength and flex forum or the nhs website. 👍

IMPACT!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the forum.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run and knee strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

Number of things it could be: with me it was footwear. But do you mean ANY exercise or only high impact exercise like running?

[Nicola-D in reply to ArthurJG]

Any exercise, but high impact is particularly painful for days after. No muscle pain tho., just joints

[ArthurJG Graduate in reply to Nicola-D]

If it’s hurting that much even when there’s no actual impact from the exercise it might be best to get a doctor to check it out.
