Pain in the lower extremities -- feet, ankles, knees and hips -- contributes to both poor physical function and a reduced quality of life in obese children, according to a new study. The research shows that obese children with lower extremity pain have worse physical function and poorer psychological health than obese children without lower extremity pain.
