Good morning doctor. I run 5 km daily on CONCRETE ROAD. What I have heard from my friend is that running on concrete road is not good for knees. It creates problems related to knees over the period of time. Do you also agree? Could you please comments & suggest care to be taken during running? Thanks in advance.

Hi lybrate-user our feets are designed in such a way that it's not advisable to run in concrete roads barefoot. Use a branded sports shoe it will solve your problem as it's ergonomically designed to reduce stress over your leg. N more over if you are doing regular leg exercises than no need to worry. Running will strengthen your legs. In case of pain or any other sign than only you need to seek medical advice. Regards.
