Low Impact : Try, aquatics, body weight, or resistance bands/ tubing biking, and/or elliptical. Aquatics allow you to perform body weight exercises, but being in water actually reduces the stress on your body due to buoyancy. Once you are able to perform body weight activities then look to add light resistance w/ bands/ tubing. This will decrease the "wear and tear"on your joints and inc. Their longevity.

Knee pain: Great job trying to loose weight. Running is a high impact activity and may be a poor choice if you have joint problems. Most likely you have a ligament or tendon problem, but need to be seen by your pcp for a knee exam. Physical therapy would also be advisable. If you still have knee pain, may consider and mri. Try swimming and diet and good luck!
