      Hi, I am suffering from obesity. Does being overweight affect arthritis?

        @sarkarsatarupa It is important for people with arthritis to maintain a healthy weight. For people who are overweight or obese, losing weight reduces pressure on joints, particularly weight bearing joints like the hips and knees. In fact, losing as little as 10 to 12 pounds can reduce pain and improve function substantially.
