ankle stiffness & PN

by radio142, Dec 06, 2007 11:27AM
I am a 44yr. old female diagnosed with PN, pernicious anemia & am taking b12 injections monthly.  Is there any treatment available for the associated ankle and knee stiffness?

Hello.

The ankle and knee stiffness could be due to edema (swelling). Proper positioning of the legs to drain accumulated fluid under the skin should reduce the stiffness.
