Can Weight Loss Program Be The Cause Of Knee Pain And Hip Pain?
my doctor just prescribed another medicine for my bp which is 132/86 the first was Lipotril (sp?) Had side effects after only one dose. Pain in joints. Couldn t reach above myhead, go up and down stairs without pain in knees and hip pain. Now she is prescribing something else. 50mg of something. I haven t picked it up yet. I am currently on a doctor monitored weight loss program. I am 5 6 and weigh 210.i am 52 years old. Should I take the medication or keep losing weight. I have fatty liver which is what precipitated this.

Hi welcome to healthcare magic,
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of improper dietary regimen.Excess loss of weight suddenly leads to calcium loss thereby your symptoms.I advise you to get Bone mineral density immediately.Also take drugs like Tab.ultracet, Tab.pregabalin and tab.pantop for one month.I advise you to take Protein rich low carbohydrate diet.Take fruits and vegetable salads.Multivitamins and calcium supplements will be helpful.
Consult your orthopeadician for expert management.
