My Knees Shake/tremor Coming Down The Stairs.

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Atlanta, GA

Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed a new symptom. My knees shake/tremor coming down the stairs. Going up the stairs has always felt like I am doing squats but coming down has never been an issue until now. I'm concerned about falling down the stairs.

Does anyone else experience this?

Stairs scare me to death, I never realized that this was also a potential Fybro symptom. Mine buckle all the time going down stairs.

I do that also I actually do fall sometimes luckily Im only 5-2 so I don`t have to far to fall LOL !!! I fall just standing sometimes but yes my legs are very shaking when climbing down stairs also, I did not use to but after 20 yrs yes it now happens all the time always hang on to a railing is my best advice :) gentle hugs xxxx take care and be careful.

Not shaking or tremor, but feel they are going to give way. I go down the stairs sideways and one at a time, it really helps me

Yes just recently I was coming down steps in a beach rental home my legs/ knees started shaking really bad. I've never in countered this before. It is a scary feeling. My family was there to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday, I hated the steps. Enjoyed my family time!
