What could be causing the pain in the knee?
I have had knee pain for several months? Could it be caused by being overweight? What should I do? ~ Anna 58 years old
Chronic knee pain in your age group is likely caused by osteoarthritis (called gonarthrosis). Please visit an orthopedic specialist who, after examining you and assessing radiographs, will suggest further treatment – conservative (anti-inflammatory drugs, nodosaminoglycan preparations, intra-articular injections, physical therapy, rehabilitation) or surgical. Regardless of the cause of the pain in the knee joints, being overweight will aggravate them and make rehabilitation difficult.
