Does arthritis include leg pain and weaknessWeakness? I had difficulty climbing stairs which started a year ago, and now it seems to worsen. It is also hard for me to go down the stairs. At present, my legs hurt. I cannot endure standing up even for a few minutes. My muscles are weak, I suppose.
Yes it can. There are over 100 different types of arthritis with many of them affecting different connective tissue. Please get to a doctor for a full rheumatological work up and let us know how you do.
