Potentially: It depends somewhat on the exact cause of your pain, and you should consider being seen just to make sure that the cause of the problem is diagnosed. Some causes of leg pain are potentially life threatening, including a deep vein thrombosis (blood clot). That being said, many causes of leg pain can improve with weight loss including arthritis of the hip or knee, sciatica, and venous disease.
