5Muscle Weakness
Due to the decreased range of motion and constant pain caused by arthritis, you might experience sudden weakness. It is a mechanism that your body tries to avoid pain or is caused by damage to your joint’s integrity. Also, the lack of physical activities for an extended period can lead to loss of strength. This makes it much harder to walk around or lift heavy items as usual. In the long run, muscle weakness would lead to some other issues, such as loss of coordination, dexterity, and agility. [5]
