I m a 53 yr old women. I am about 25 kilos overweight I m 5.5 and 89 kilos. I have recently in the last month hard incredible pain in my knees. They ache constantly. I do get a bit of relief when I take fish oil regularity, the other night it woke me up. It has come on in both knees at once. I feel the other night when walking and they have been aching. I find I m stiff as I get out of bed and get up off the lounge. I am trying to loose weight and hAve been walking at least 40 mins each day for months. Also I did go and see. Do for last year as I found my bones ached in general like I m typing now and their aching. I also take ostelin with vitamin d daily . Iam a fairly active person and take the stairs instead of A lift I blame menopause with my lack of success in loosing weight.
Hi Hope this message finds you in good health. I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern. Wear and tear of the cartilage has made the knee bones to come near due to loss of cushion like catilage. That leads to loss of lubrication and every now and then u get such painful episodes.It can get cured by taking cartilage strengthening tablets.Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help. I appreciate your efforts to lose weight. Intra articular steroid injection shots may help. Nothing to worry about. I hope your question has been answered. If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime. Thanks,Take care,God bless.
