Obesity and excess weight are the most common causes of bones and joints pain, the obese patient suffers from difficulty in movement , chronic back pain and joints pain as well. Because the higher the weight of the person the more negative impact on the vertebrae of the spine and joints which increases severity of the pain. because the increased number of the fatty tissues in the body increases the secretion of substances that lead to inflammation and Osteoarthritis.

1- Knee joints.

2- Femur bones.

3- Spine (lower, mid or upper back).

Obesity and excess weight affect bones and joints and cause a lot of pain to their owners, as an example, each one kilogram of weight gain increases the pressure on the joints or knee joint  the equivalent of four kilograms, which causes constant pressure because of the occurrence of inflammation of the joints that could lead to roughness and friction, which leads to the erosion of cartilage in the joints.

Yes, obesity affects the spine and this is caused by the accumulation of fat in the abdominal area where the abdomen consists of two muscles and with weight gain the abdomen is pressed forward which leads to increased pressure on the entire spine causing pain in various places in the back, it may occur at the top, mid or lower back and in some cases it may lead to spinal disc herniation which causes very great pain for the patient and the difficulty of physical movement to the degree of physical disability sometimes.

Treatment of spinal and joint problems that were the result of obesity and excess weight varies depending on the severity of the injury and the severity of the pain caused by the injury, sometimes treatment can be done by reducing the weight and thus reducing the pressure on the joints and vertebrae, or treatment by physiotherapy to strengthen the joints and muscles. Even in cases of third and fourth degree osteoarthritis can improve by getting rid of obesity, but sometimes the condition has developed and surgical intervention is the only way to get rid of pain.

In fact, rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery is difficult because of complications such as:

1- Infections or microbial contamination of the wounds.

2- Complications in anesthesia, especially due to excess weight and determining the appropriate dose for the patient.

3- Blood clots occur to the patient.

So we can see that the safest way to avoid all this trouble and pain is to get rid of obesity and its complications. Always remember dear reader that this excess weight is a heavy burden on your health and your life not only your bones and joints.
