Is Stiffness In Feet And Hands Related To Spinal Problem?
Hi every morning my feet and hands are so stiff and tight. I can barely walk my first few steps then it gets better. My joints hurt and thigh muscles are burning. I had blood work done and they said it isnt arthritis. I have a lot of spinal problems could this be a result of that?
