I experience my weak knees to lower back injury, being overweight , being too sedentary....and RA. But not the Humira, which has given me my life back.
The most common reason for weakness in the legs is a low potassium level. Ask your doc to check your level. Easy to fix.

In the meantime, get your potassium checked and go eat a banana with some orange juice to get some potassium into you.
