Arthritic knee!

3 Replies

Hello, did my first run this morning and it went ok. My question is does anyone suffer from arthritis in the knees? I used to jog a bit a few years ago but my left knee started to really bother me so I stopped running. Fast forward 3 years and a few cortizone injections and I want to try again. I have recently lost a bit of weight as I know that will help. Any advice? Thank you 😊
