Interesting timing for this post, for quite a while now I had adopted the stiff gaited walk, because my lower back (SIs) were always in an uproar and I wanted to move my hips as little as possible. Yesterday when I dropped Sugar off at the vet a tech there who has RA asked me if I was feeling better because I was walking so normally! I've been on Arava for six weeks now and it has reduced the pain and stiffness to the point where people notice now that I'm walking fine whereas they used to notice my walking because it seemed so stiff and uncoordinated. I also have noticed that I'm standing up straighter, not that hunched position I found myself slipping into due to the pain that walking caused, even with a cane.
