Discovery

I have been walking (with my rolator) for a few weeks now with 2 friends. I do notice that if I "push it" too much, my shins ache &/or my legs just become like Jello, but I have not had any problem with my knees. However, when I stand at the sink to wash dishes or stand to bake or cook for any length of time, my knees scream in pain when I go to sit down. So it seems that standing is actually worse than walking. Hmmm. Anyone know a reason for this or how this goes along with my spinocerebelar ataxia diagnosis?

BTW, my earlier update about my calves being constantly tight & my having more ballance problems is no longer valid. Thankfully, neither of those conditions remains true.
