I appreciate the fact that weight loss improves your pain factor. Some of us need to be able to work out to maintain a healthy weight-so its kinda vicious circle.

The very 1st question my husband gets asked when he mentions my knee replacement is usually: is she overweight? Not really. 5’6”, 128 lbs. Stayed between 130 and 145 for the past 50 years, except for pregnancies and briefly after stopping smoking. So while losing weight can ease stress on knee, it’s not a fix, nor do I think it was a contributing factor in my OA.
