How can i build up cartilage in my knee (because of jogging)?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Knee cartilage probl: It is difficult to increase cartilage tissue in the knee. The best you can do is to protect your knees and stop jogging. Use exercises that do not impact the knees. See your physician for an examination to determine the exact cause and to recommend treatment for your condition.
