What Causes Severe Pain And Stiffness In The Knees And Lower Legs?
I have bad knees. Have had arthroscopy in both. Left due to torn meniscus; right due to torn meniscus and torn ACL, but it has been several years. Lately, my knees and lower legs are much worse. I can t walk very far or long without both of them becoming very painful, stiff and weak. All I want to do is sit down. It is worse if I am walking slowly or stop and stand a lot. I take Naproxen 500mg twice a day as needed. Do you think it might be rheumatoid arthritis?
