I am aged 52 years. I am a civil contractor and very busy I have osteo arthritis. But from last one year I have lot of pain in my right leg below the knee. So I have stopped doing exercise from last 6 months. My weight is 90 kg and my height is 5 feet 4 inches. I want to reduce my weight and also my leg pain. Kindly advise.

First of all, don't ignore your health just because you are busy. Your knee osteoarthritis is causing leg pain making you are unable to do exercises which further causes weight gain and aggravates your knee osteoarthritis thanks follow the below plan: 1. Get relief from knee pain by anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen. If pain is not relieved by drugs, consult a pain specialist and get geniculate nerve block done. 2 other options available for knee pain are prp injection. All this treatment can just decrease your pain so that you can undergo exercises. 3. Focus on weight loss with exercises and diet control. Consult again for further details.
