I am new to the RA life. Ive learned a lot of my pain is a fun side effect of RA. Does anyone know if that includes leg pain? Specifically knee pain with weakness. The muscle weakness goes up my thighs. Im kinda freaking out.

My legs shake in weakness. Early on I put a handicap bench in shower bc i couldnt stand long. (And I take 5 min showers!) i also have another bench in bathroom just to sit if needed when brushing teeth etc and chairs strategically placed throughout house to fall into. I was so very afraid I would end up in a wheel chair but I havent and it’s beens 1.5 years.
