Hi thanks for asking question in health care magic.
The frequent side effect that is reported is arthralgia.
It can also lead to joint stiffness, tendinitis, arthritis, joint swelling etc.on long term use.
So feeling difficulty in walking might be because of this drug.
So consultation to your doctor is to be done whether to continue to use drug .
Calcium supplementation and antioxident tablets will be helpful.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
