Overweight, Losing Weight. Knee Hurts On Putting Weight, Movement. Hear Bone Crunching On Stretching. Any Abnormality?

Hi Dr Samuel, I am 136.4kgs, I was a 140kgs and still plan to lose more, but I am finding it hard to walk or put weight on my left knee....It hurts so bad when I get out of bed, or when I get up after sitting for a few minutes, it also hurts at the back of my knee and when I stretch my leg I can hear my bone crunching. I have just gotten out of bed and found that I could bearly walk....Please help and tell me what it is.
also, I am not diagnosed with diabetes.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
1 Due to overweight you might have developed osteoarthritis of the left knee.Diagnosis can be confirmed by C T scan and X ray of both knees .
2 Due to over weight may be osteoporosis , diagnosis can be confirmed by examination of blood level for calcium.
3 Degenerative disease of knee joint , reason may be same over weight. Diagnosis can be confirmed by CT scan.
4 Osteomyelitis may be one reason of such pain.

In my opinion avoid greasy , spicy , junk foods .
Also might help to avoid sugar related product .
Take lemon juice twice in day with lukewarm water on empty stomach.
Consult an orthopedic surgeon and get his opinion as physical examination is very important .
Good luck Dr. HET
