At 53 years with diabetes and excess weight, leg pain, heaviness, and difficulty bending the knee is most likely due to knee osteoarthritis aggravated by excess body weight â every extra kilogram puts significantly more load on the knees. Leg heaviness can also be due to venous insufficiency, which is common in overweight individuals. Weight reduction is the single most impactful intervention for both the knee and leg symptoms. Also, regular use of Combiflam (NSAID) alongside diabetes medication needs monitoring as it can affect kidney function.
Next Steps
Get knee X-rays and see an orthopedic doctor. Avoid prolonged standing and start low-impact exercise like swimming or cycling. Discuss NSAID use with your doctor given the diabetes. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
