Why is my osteoarthritis pain worse since losing weight?

Your knee needs to be re-assessed by your treating physician.
There may be other causes of pain, such as “internal derangement” as in a meniscal tear, or other structures being inflamed eg pes anserine bursitis.
Or, unfortunately, the underlying degenerative change may just be worsening.Report this post
