Hello from a newbie 🙂

vkirby78

I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knees end of 2024. I am really struggling to manage it as I’m overweight and trying to lose weight but struggle with doing too much exercise.
any advice or tips gratefully appreciated 😊

p.s I’m a 46 yr old female

Hello @vkirby78 and welcome to the online community,

There are some great suggestions on the Versus Arthritis website for gentle exercises that can help with the pain of arthritis. It might be that you’re overdoing the exercise and so increasing the pain. It’s really important to start slowly and gently and then build up. I’ve put a link below to an exercise video that I and many others have found useful - I hope you do too.

Do let us know how you get on,
