Caitlyn Jenner could benefit from exercising, but she is 'lazy' about it

Caitlyn Jenner has apparently been dealing with the degenerative joint disease for decades and has been living in "constant pain."

"Her poor posture doesn't help because she's in constant pain. The backaches are terrible," added the source. 

As per Dr Gabe Mirkin, a sports medicine specialist, Jenner, should keep active.

He noted, "The rules are she must keep moving because if you stop moving osteoarthritis gets worse. It’s really key that she keep active." 

The source, however, revealed, "Caitlyn would benefit from exercise to strengthen her core, but she's lazy about it, and moaning about feeling lousy all the time isn't making things better."

In December 2021, Jenner underwent knee replacement surgery. She spoke about it to her millions of followers on Instagram by posting a clip.

In the caption, she wrote, "Merry Christmas! This year I got a new knee. 11 days ago I had knee replacement surgery. I’ll keep you posted on my progress! Stay tuned. Enjoy your Christmas! Stay healthy and happy."

Also, in the footage, Jenner was heard saying, as per People, "Okay, guess what I'm doing today. Yes, I'm getting my knee replaced. I've been putting this off for 25 years, and I'm finally going to do it today! I'll try to keep you up-to-date on the way."

Caitlyn Jenner has been vocal about keeping trans women out of women's sports

While Caitlyn Jenner, who came out as transgender in 2015 and went under the knife for gender reassignment two years later, hasn't spoken much about her battle with osteoarthritis, the former Olympian has been vocal about keeping transgender women out of women's sports. 

In March, she defended New York County's ban on trans women competing on women's teams. 

At a news conference, she said, "Trans women are competing against women, taking valuable opportunities for the long-protected class under Title IX and causing physical harm," as per NBC News.

Moreover, in an X (formerly Twitter) post, Jenner shared, "People ask me why I am speaking out so often on this topic. It’s simple. It’s biology, it is not about exclusion or not being tolerant / accepting. Someone trans has to do it. Men don’t belong in women’s sports. Period."
