Pain in left knee
I have pain in knee sometimes whenever I bend it or climb stairs. No issues in walking. Yesterday suddenly pain started again. I didn't work out or put any stress. I noticed swelling too. I went to a doctor. He said deficiency of vitamin D without any test.
The issue is I am overweight too. I want to workout to loose weight but can't put pressure on my joints too. What should I do
Hi there
You definitely need to loose weight to decrease stress Fromm your joints. For that you need to move towards healthy eating options with less calories rather than junk food or what we normally eat at home. You need to strengthen your leg muscles too.
