No David. No you don’t. I’ve been watching your posts and you clearly don’t.
Giving up or considering giving up all the time is not a good attitude. Constantly complaining and refusing to take advice is not a good attitude.
You also clearly have a very low pain tolerance.
I’m also willing to bet money that you do not eat healthily, as consistent injuries and joint pain under low stress points to being protein and/or calcium deficient. I’m willing to bet you are also iron deficient.

Correct about the poor diet (apparently he only eats chicken banana and bread because he's too poor for vegetables), and poor sleep due to posting on letsrun well past midnight.

You do realize Letsrun is in CST while I live in PST?
Are you low tone? ie do you have low muscle definition?
david, did you grow up very inactive (not involved in any sports or playing outside for fun, spending the day outside, running around in fields/roads/playgrounds and so on)... and before and during you started running just sat during the rest of the time? I am just wondering. When I grew up, there were not really many or any fat people at least where I was (I am not even joking, I looked at an old picture the other day and there were no fat children or adults, and there were a lot of people in it), everyone was very active (hours a day and full days at the weekend). Wow, I sound old now but even things like - there were only 4 TV channels.
So what I am wondering is if you don't have the essential ligament, muscle and skeletal strength to put your body through hard running right now. You don't run before you can walk! (hike.)
That is a result of the time you grew up in. I would imagine some of your schoolmates were exactly the same (not all, before you say that).
So in that case, TO AVOID GETTING INJURED AGAIN, start off with going for walks around where you live, then make them longer, then progress to hills (or steps if you don't have hills). You can add a rucksack (is it called that there - backpack?) and add in weight to that as time goes on. You need to be active. You need a base for running, people are so weak these days (no judgement on that, it's just a statement of fact, it is common). THEN go on to the C25K.
You are 19, you shouldn't be getting injured like this, and barring any kind of underlying problem (I think you said that had been excluded) it may be a lack of daily activity issue, at least in my opinion.
Also if you sit at a computer for 18 hours a day and then suddenly go running you ARE going to run into problems (no joke intended).
Yes, I grew up inactive
OK.

what is this indicative of?
I also don't know whether or not I have underlying problems
Really? Doesn't your primary schtick involve complaining about underlying problems?
Then when some naïve new poster tries to help you, you respond by telling them that they are wrong.
Might not be eating enough to train.
He's also not training enough to require eating.
Just clicked on this post to confirm. Total waste of time and energy. Do you people actually do anything?

Spend six months preparing your body to be able to run by walking, building up to 2 hours, eventually with a heavy pack, over hills or steps.
David's entitlement attitude continues.
I am entitled to be a good runner. No. Nobody is.
I work super hard. No you clearly don't.
Give me advice! But only if I agree with it!
This guy has an excuse for everything. The only reason I feel bad for him is because it sounds like you didn't have too many friends back in hs and from your asinine, whiny posts, i really that was a condition of your own doing. Pity.

I do work hard when I am healthy. I literally run at a pace that isn't easy. As for advice, I do accept advice. That is how I ended up running at a heart rate 160-170 BPM for all of my runs because people suggested that to me.
This is the one, and only one, answer.
You need to start walking, NOW, an hour a day, every day. Two hours one day a week. Don't even think about running. There are hundreds of millions of people whose very existence requires them to be able to walk two hours a day. Surely you can walk an hour a day at a time.
After a few weeks then push your daily walks up to 1:15 to 1:20. You might even try substituting some portion (20 minutes) of some your daily walks with slow jogging, but you need to keep the walking minutes up and consistent every day.
Had you been born in another time or another place you would have already been eaten by the jackals/wolves/hyenas/lions. Had you been born in a war-torn country you would have not survived.
An hour a day, every day. No excuses, no circular explanations why not. No drama. No posting about it for at least a month.
March 1st give us a progress report, but not until then.
STFU about this until March. Really. It's for your own good.
