Knee keeps failing

2018-05-28 18:52:24
I hav been having problems walking because of my knee . It fails on me often so I fall down atleast twice a week depending on where I am in the house. I am obese, diabetic and have a heart condition. What can i do to lose weight and possibly get the knee in working order again? I have a weird situation with my health insurance so I don’t think I can afford the hospital until July when the other insurance kicks in.
