Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
One of the common cause of knee pain is increased weight. I would have listened to your doctor and had opted for loosing weight. Not only for your leg pain. Weight reduction is helpful in combating and preventing many medical problems.
Determination is the most important thing in weight reduction. I advice you to do some exercise, may be yoga, or daily brisk walking and checking on your good intake will be helpful in reducing weight.


Iron deficiency results in anemia, which in turn results in weakness and can also be responsible for leg pain.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
I find this answer helpful
