Discuss with MD: Physical therapy maybe the safest way to initiate an exercise program that is sustainable, it could lead to improvements in your symptoms overall . It should be coupled with nutritional support for the weight loss, as well as some counseling for support though the lifestyle changes.

Arms: It is difficult to adequately exercise when back and knee pain are issues. However, arm exercises can be intense and aerobic. Even better, water exercises, if tolerated in knees and back.
