Wobbly leg!

Hi everyone, one of my legs has started 'wobbling' after I stand up from sitting for a while. It almost feels as though it's not quite connected properly at the rear of the hip and feel as if it is bending backwards (ie the wrong way!) at the knee. I first noticed it a year or so ago but it's happening almost all the time now.

I have osteoarthritis in both hips, but this feels different and makes me really unsteady on my feet.

Does anyone else out there suffer from the same/similar?

I've got a rheumatologist appointment on the 19th so will be mentioning it then.

Thanks in advance

Sarah

wait and speak to the rheumatologist- and don’t be fobbed off with painkillers. Push for a scan if you can - I was found to have a spine problem not connected to arthritis- but only when I went private after being told it was what to expect at my age with Lupus. Good luck.
