I like hiking, but my knees hurt ㅠㅠ

I really enjoy hiking.

The cool air from the hike and the joy of reaching the summit make me feel incredibly proud.

However, when I go hiking, especially on steep slopes or places with many stairs, my knees make a sound every now and then.

It's not a major annoyance, but it happens quite frequently and isn't extremely painful... I am diligently hiking to practice the importance of walking, but I wonder if it's okay to continue hiking like this...

When I went to the hospital, there was no abnormality in the X-ray.

They said to refrain if you hear sounds or experience pain ㅠㅠ

I like hiking, but should I hold back in times like this..?😭

It's okay when walking on flat ground!!

But during this mountain hike, I feel so upset because of this ㅜㅜ

By the way, I only walk 10,000 steps a day and do not do stair climbing exercise..!!
