Hello,

Knee pain can be related to many medical conditions. It can be related to body weight. Arthritis can also cause knee pain. I suggest to do an X-ray of the knee and rheumatoid factor level for further evaluation. I also suggest to consult a rheumatologist for further evaluation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,

The knee pain at your age is due to excessive body weight that puts stress on the weight bearing joints like knee and causes the arthritic changes to develop early in the knee.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
