dear
recent weight gain that we are having might be due to some metabolic disorder as well.
In such cases first of all we ensure a general health check up along with thyroid profile,sugar level etc.
If every thing comes normal we may go for some hormanal asseys.
plz dont worry as it will be diagnosed and in the mean time take care of the diet and exercises. more over joint pain is mostly due to the body weight.
we must add a lot of fibres and fluids to out diet as well to improve the bowel activity.
hope this helps
most welcome for further queries
