Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. As a matter of truth, increase weight above the recommended value can cause these symptoms. However, with you reporting that you had a UTI which could also explain this pain, I will suggest that you follow through with the treatment and if symptoms fail to resolve, then we can attribute this to something else. To take control of your weight, eat less calories than you spend in a day. This require controlling your diet, exercising often and incorporating lifestyle measures that help you maintain an active life.


I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask more questions and request for more information if you feel so.
