If you don't have the right body type, biomechanics will eventually catch up with you as you age. Look at serious runners in their 40s and older and they all have the same body type.

There are very few cases of people who have to stop running entirely. You need to find a good physiotherapist (key word: good).
It may take several weeks of rehab exercises and a few months to build volume but only a small percentage of people should actually stop running.
