Brief Answer: Take calcium supplements... Detailed Answer: Hi, I understand your concern. I shall provide you some useful measures that should benefit you. At 45 years as you approach menopause, knee pain and weight gain are common medical problems that you would face. In fact majority of women at this age develop this symptom. Estrogen hormones decline leads to calcium deficiency and weight gain. You may also face other problems such as hot flashes, burning soles and palms, mood fluctuations, depressive attitude besides menstrual irregularities / period cessation. In this instance, I suggest you to continue exercise. Start calcium supplements - dietary (milk, milk products, egg, spinach, cereal grains and so on) or medication (tab. shelcal 500mg once a day). Avoid falls and injuries. If it hurts to severely, you can consult a physiotherpist for couple of physiosessions. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards
