Arthritis & Running

[ShadowsEmber]

Hi all! I’m just wondering whether those of you with arthritis have been told not to run? I have some degenerative A. in my neck and lower back and was told running isn’t great but I’m putting on more and more weight and really want to do some running

Sorry about that. Am also having sone neck issues but i try to run once a week and walk other days

Hoping to get ideas

I think it’s just about listening to our bodies maybe... good to hear that you can run once a week. I did 8 minutes intermittent running/ then walking today so hopefully I’ll be ok tomorrow... will just have to see x

I was told nothing that puts stress on your joints. Not even walking up hills 😏

Gosh that’s tricky then eh!? How are we supposed to exercise? So difficult
