Muscle development with chronic injuries

[skinnyguy]

I am 42 years old and have arthritis in both knees and a bad back. Oh I am also a Marine 20 years in. With these bad knees I want to know how or what I can do to increase lean muscle mass over all but especially in my legs.

Look into reducing inflammation one of the major issues known to influence arthritis by dropping carbs especially refined sugars, grains, and increasing dietary fats (keto).. 

Introduce healthy prebiotic fibers into your diet for a optimally functioning gut microbiome... (a major modulator of arthritis)..
