Soreness down both sides of my legs.

I'm finding it hard to walk . When i sit for a short periods. I get up and I walk like old lady in pain between inner thighs down to my calves. Its right near the knee cap. I go to the gym I'm limited to what I do. I can't do jumps. (hurt). I recently gain weight. Wondering if thats. Or it comes down to been 46yrs. I recently got a scan on my one knee but have arthisits (wear and tear). Do I need to go and get MRI? Its a pain from driving then hopping out of the car walking across the road with stiffness..then slowly comes good for awhile..until sit again.

Uh, that link was not what I thought it was.  It is interesting.  My advice would be to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and lean meats.  Easy on carbs - make them healthy ones that are complex.  Pretty much like a diabetic would eat.  That will decrease weight and help reduce inflammation and pain.

Any extra weight will cause arthritis and the pain it causes to be worse.
