Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m 43. Weigh 340. After any activity from eating to walking my body shuts down kinda. My back hurts so bad. My legs get stiff especially muscle above left knee and also swells. It s hurts to just roll over in bed. I have very broad shoulders so my weight although chubby I m not overly physically diminished. My shoulders also hurt. In the mornings I start real sluggish trying to overcome joint soreness.
