A member asked:
Does running make osteoarthritis worse?? im afraid that it will make the cartilage looses more.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plus and minus.: We say that exercise is beneficial for osteoarthritis, but running is tough on the hips, knees and ankles. Try less impactful exercise like stationary cycling or swimming, along with light weight training for the muscles that surround the weakened joints.
