Arthritis in itself has no effect on ligaments and muscles, However pain as a result of the build up of scar tissue and bone can lead to problems with these. I have feet that I have been told By rhuematologists are badly affected by RA, and that I must have a high pain threshold to still be walking around without a limp. Personally I would put this down to the fact that I spent most of my life in the building trade and as a result the muscles in my feet were always kept in tip top order giving the joints and bones good support. There were however short periods of time when I was forced to limp around as a result of inflammation in my feet.
