    I've seen it lessen, but it depends on the issue. Whether it is tendons, ligaments, muscle atrophy, bone on bone, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Losing weight will mitigate the pain of some of these ailments, but not all, and some will require surgery to correct.

    Have you seen an orthopedic doc to have an x-ray or MRI done? That will tell you a lot!
