A few years ago, I tried picking up running as a hobby. I unfortunately did too much too soon and got injured. The pain would never go away, however, and I went to numerous doctors to see what was wrong. I eventually was diagnosed with osteoarthritis, and it hurts to know that running caused it. I am only 22, yet I am in life-long pain because of it.
Unlikely
I did my first marathon over 47 yrs ago, and still run. In fact the muscle strength and continuous fitness has staved off arthritis.
More likely localised injuries, lack of muscle support, blah blah... and wear after that

22 is more like life-short pain.

1) better doctors
2) better running shoes
3) better approach to training
4) if all else fails a kayak and/or bike and/or skis
I had to quit running at the same age due to arthritis. I was a while foods vegetarian. I was unable to run seriously until years later when I resumed meat and eggs again. Still had injuries due to heavy plant diet.
Now at age 67 I run easily and absolutely free of joint pain on a carnicore diet of mostly meat, fatty dairy, eggs and some fruit.
Plants don't want to be eaten, so they attack us after we consume them, for the most part. For an amazing arthritis story, search Mikhaila Peterson.
