What happens in weight and joint pain.
Excess weight places additional mechanical load on the joints, particularly the knees, hips, and lower back, accelerating cartilage wear, increasing inflammation, and making movement progressively more painful and restricted.
Signs you may notice

- Stairs and DistanceDifficulty with weight-bearing activities like climbing stairs or walking for extended periods
- Multiple JointsSwelling or stiffness in multiple joints that limits the range of daily movement
- Pain and InactivityReduced activity due to pain, which in turn leads to further weight gain
