Within the last two months my legs/knees have become unusually stiff. It s harder to walk down stairs than up. They just seem like they are sore all the time with a lot less flexibility. My calves seem tight all the time as well. I m 44 and still active, not sure what is going on. Any help?
Hello, Stiffness of the joints is commonly related to rheumatoid arthritis. I suggest doing a rheumatoid factor level for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I also suggest cold compresses for local application and gentle stretching exercises. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
