I am doing more yoga and the stiffness on my left side is improving, but if I miss a day or two stretching, I'm practically right back at square one. My knees are not so bad, but I do feel uncomfortable with going down stairs.

I haven't had a lot of popping of joints previously, with the exception of my knees, but I don't have popping in my knees, just a feeling of looseness, or tightness--I can't quite describe the sensation.

I just turned 50, and that's why I ask if this is typical for MS or just typical for 50 year old peri-menopausal women?
