Stiffness is a classic symptom of RA. Usually occurs in the morning, but if my disease is not adequately controlled, I have it all the time. Consult your rheumatologist.

My legs get this way, esp. in hot weather. I have fibro and arthritis. Two totally different animals.

Yes I get that alot. I can't do stairs some days and the bottom of my feet feel swollen.

Try distilled water. I thought I was dehydrated and the distilled water was the only thing to take away the thirst. No diabetes here.

I find I fall really easy and then I can't get up. No power left in my legs and now I am seeing my arms are goingl. I tried to get up on our quad I almost made it but I couldn't hold onto it to get my legs on.
