Hello,
If you are having severe pain during walking then this can be due to myopathy or asociated connectise insult as you are also having rheumatoid arthritis.You should do following to have relief in this-
-In such cases i routinely try pregabalin preparation.You may ask from your doctor for this.
-There are some other analgesic like aceclofenac preparation which can be taken on prescription from your doctor
-Take vitamin E 200 for two times a day.
-Calcium and vitamin D preparation will be very helpful.
-Check for any vascular problem in limb.YOu may consult to your doctor for this.In that case a DOPPLER investigation will be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
