This is why I fall down all the time.

So, for a week and a half, my right knee has been extremely stiff and weak. I haven't been able to bend or straighten it, and I have to be careful putting my weight on it to stand up. When it started, I initially assumed it was a leftover symptom of pregnancy, since I had troubles with that knee while pregnant and I still have pain in my left leg

My family has given me some pretty shit joints as well. I have to be careful with my ankles and hips. My ankles are really bad, and since it's gotten colder it's been painful, which I'm sure is just some mild arthritis.

What kind of doctor did you see? Can I recommend you go to a podiatrist? I know it's not your feet you're having problems with per say, but the way you walk can affect your knees and hips a lot! It might be worth going and seeing if he can correct your gait a bit with some shoe inserts. Mine affect the way I hold my whole body.

Having leg issues is the worst, I'm glad you figured out what was wrong!

That will be something to think about for the future, at least! I'll keep all that in mind. I go back to my doctor in 6 weeks, so maybe I'll talk to him about it then, too.
