[quote=Anonymous]I've lost 25 pounds on a GLP-1 and have much less daily joint pain and aches as a result, but I started with a BMI of 30. It still might help for you to lose weight, but I would talk to your doctor. I think you would want to be careful about losing weight too quickly.

It might be helpful to see a dietician and a physical therapist. If you're not on hormone replacement therapy it's worthwhile to talk to your doctors about that because of the impacts of menopause on bone density. HRT may also help you lose a small amount of weight (or reduce your tendency to gain weight). Also regarding PT - sometimes it's not joint pain but could be tendonitis which I've had in my hips - PT was very helpful with this because strengthening muscles reduces strain on your tendons. Tendons are also very slow to heal once inflamed - a few years back I got platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injections in my hip tendons after talking to an orthopedist about persistent hip pain after 2 pregnancies in 2 yrs in my early 40s. PRP + physical therapy reduced my pain a lot. [/quote]
