Experiencing knee pain when exercising and putting pressure on left leg. i'm overweight but will this pain go away if i continue to lose weaight?

Maybe : Maybe. Full exam needed if a contusion or sprain will improve but if it's a crucial or collateral ligament tear or meniscus tear may need more rehabilitation or surgery to fix. Tell MD where the pain is how long it lasts if it radiates. Do low impact elliptical or recumbent bike till pain improves please. Controlling your diet will definitely help in the long run. Good luck
