A member asked:
Major knee stiffness or new weight gain making it hard to stand up from kneeling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I'm not surprised! : Witn each pound you gain, the risk of degenerative arthritis (DJD) increases by 2%. If your pain persists or gets worse after conservative measures such as nasid therapy (for example ibuprofen), cautious and appropriate stretching exercises, and weight loss, see your doctor. To be more thourough in my answer, i would need more history and exam results. Related to you occupation(?).
