Hello,I am a 25 year old African American woman. I am obese (280). I hae recently attempted to increase my physical activity. I am 270. However, I now have pain in my left knee with very audible crepitus. I am able to ambulate, with limited pain. However, the pain is most cocnerning.
hithis pain is due to overweight on the weight bearing joints.please stop your vigorous exercise untill the pain is reducedyou can go for simple knee relaxing exercises, wear a knee cap , & take painkillers to relieve the painif the pain still persists please visit an orthopaedician for the treatment.please check out for your thyroid  &  calcium  levels.all the best, take care
