Cause For Pain In Back When Loosing Weight?
I am overweight, 50 and female. I have exercised regularly throughout life and have osteoarthritis. Every time I lose a couple of pounds, my hips and low back hurt worse than the day before. I am continuing exercise and slow weight loss. What causes the increase in pain?

Hello,
I had gone through the case and found that it might be due to aggravation of arthritis.
You must go for Lower back MRI to find the any other complication and also go for vitamin D3.
Meanwhile do normal exercise and Avoid heavy and hurting exercise.
Take regular calcium and vitamin D3 once a week.
If pain is severe then go for physiotherapy and take mild painkiller.
Hope my answer will be effective for you.
Thanks
