Loosing weight is probably a great idea. You might want to go see a podiatrist as well (foot doctor). If your arches are screwed up or your stride is not just right, it can cause terrible pain - sometimes in the knees, sometimes in the hips back and feet as well. I got orthotic inserts made for my shoes that alter my stride so that my joints are not stressed unnaturally when I walk and run. The best $300 I have ever spent in my life. I am not kidding when I tell you that this has made a serious impact on my quality of life. And best of all, your doctor can probably assess your feet and stride in one short painless appointment.
