Stiffness as a side effect of Relvar?

I'm male, 71 and developed asthma for the first time last year. First inhaler I was put on became ineffective very quickly, and I was put on Relvar, which has made a big difference.

However, I've recently found myself becoming very 'stiff', so that even tying my shoelaces is difficult. Walking became more difficult, but not due to tiredness or breathlessness. It was as if my tendons were no longer 'elastic'.

First put it down to age, but the deterioration seemed to happen too quickly, and I began to suspect a side effect of the Relvar. Very recently stopped the Relvar and feel some improvement. Anyone else experienced this?
