Morning all. ive had a scan through one or two running threads to get a feel of things. I was only recently diagnosed with arthritis on the outside of my left knee. Its a shock, Im 67, Ive been running well with a 5k pb of 28 mins in Nov, I hill walk a lot tooand even rock climbed Ben Nevis recently

Im waiting for my first in person physio. Id like to run on softer surfaces and have read about taking care and listening to your body etc. My specific question is around how counter intuitive it is to step on the tread mill when my knee is stiff and even feels swollen. Should i go for it despite that and do others

Thank you

Tony
