Does Obesity Cause Pain?

Does Obesity Cause Pain?: A large new study shows that obesity and pain often go hand in hand. That appears to be true even if an obese person is otherwise healthy.
Researchers say that begs some questions: Can extra pounds cause pain? If so, how does fat make us hurt?
A slew of chronic conditions that cause pain are also more common in people who are overweight and obese. Those conditions include arthritis, depression, fibromyalgia, type 2 diabetes, and back pain.
