Pain in the knees could be due to runner's knee, which is also called patellofemoral pain syndrome. — 123rf.com

I AM trying to lose some weight, and a friend suggested that I take up running. But I have also heard from other people that running can damage my knees. Is this true?

Running or jogging itself will not cause you to have arthritis, unless you are already predisposed to having arthritis.
