How to help knee pain from running?

I totally get it, it is so frustrating when you want to run but your knees just won't cooperate. Take a break for a few days and focus on light stretching.

I was researching this and read that running on concrete surfaces is very bad for the joints. Maybe try running on grass or a mud track once your pain subsides.

I went to a sports medicine doctor for my runner's knee. Ask your doctor clearly if you need specific physical therapy to strengthen your quadriceps.

The main culprit is usually old running shoes that have lost their cushioning. Invest in a good pair of running shoes and always warm up before your run.

My joint pain during exercise was due to low Vitamin D3 linked to my thyroid. Get your blood levels checked, as deficiency can make your knees very weak.

My son had this when he joined the school track team. We got him knee sleeves and made sure he applied ice packs after every practice session. It really helped.
