Question Regarding Knee Pain

My line of work requires me to run a lot. I have to stay in shape. My problem is, my knees are getting worse. They hurt a lot. What can I do to make it stop?

I plan on seeing a doctor, but I'm not sure when that'll be. I'm wondering what I can do in the meantime.

Make sure you have great running shoes. Get your gait assessed. See your Physio to asses wether it’s cartilage or a patella tracking problem. If it’s tissue they can give you exercises to align the knee.

@JohnnyBBlue I’m not sure, I suspect not. Speaking from experience my knees were playing up and a combination of the above improved things.

@ButterRobot I definitely need new shoes. They look like running shoes, but I'm starting to think otherwise.

@JohnnyBBlue yeah, very important. If you have your gait assessed they might suggest orthotics which helps control the amount of roll the knee has to tolerate.
