RA In Knees - Numbess And Tingling?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Bronxville, NY

I feel like when my knees are inflamed… My legs also just feel sort of tingly and tired all the time. Like what it feels like after you go for a long run or do leg exercises. Like they just feel exhausted and like they’re gonna buckle. Do any of you get that?

It’s like my knees will feel inflamed and then my calf muscles will be sort of tired and tingly feeling like they’re asking me to sit down. And behind my knees almost feels tight and achy like a pulled muscle.

The tingling and pins &amp… read more

I've been experiencing this for almost 2 years. My pain Dr said my quads and hams are really very tight. I am going for a joint injection next week. Hoping this helps. My legs feel really weak, all the time! My calf on the left leg feels like it wants to cramp up. Good luck to you, hipe you find a resolve.

Yes I have the numbness burning and tingling. It’s pure torture. Had MS mri twice over the years to makes sure but It’s just another gift from the RA monster! Gabapentine used to help and then amitriptalyne but they don’t work anymore. I found PEA supplement helps take about 75% of the pain away. Also could be fibromyalgia which a lot of RA sufferers get as well. It used to be just my hands and feet now it’s everywhere. Hang in there 🤗

Mine are very painful. I recently had gel injections in my knees. It has helped about 70%. But I still have some pain. I can’t really say I’ve had numbness. But they give away with me and I have to hold onto something if I’m standing still. That’s when they give away. 🤗❤️

Yes, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can cause numbness and tingling in the knees. This is often due to peripheral neuropathy, which is a condition caused by damage to the peripheral nerves. Symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in RA can include:

- Numbness
- Tingling or pins-and-needles sensations
- Painful or unusual sensations
