Hi,

Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, there is wear and tear on the cartilage. Most runners would know the severity of this and braces, Aspirin-like drugs, MRI's, physical therapy, gait training, etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
