Stiff legs

Over the last 6 months or so my legs have become increasingly stiff. What happens is if I sit for any time when I get up it takes a minute or so to be able to move, it is very painful. When up and about my legs feel unwieldy and wobbly. I am 61, walk and swim every day, a bit overweight. However this problem is making me less mobile now. Any thoughts anyone?

Perhaps see your GP. Lots of possible diagnoses. No point us all guessing. Hope things improve.

It could be Osteo-Arthritis but i agree see your GP.

Agree see your GP. Probably not the same but my Polymyalgia Rheumatica started with leg stiffness.
I hope you manage to get relief.
