For me the balance issues I had seemed related to the stiffness and pain which made smooth, quick motions impossible. Balance involves a lot of small corrective movements to stay upright. I stopped riding my bike, even though I could do it. I just didn't feel safe or confident that I could make a sudden correction if I hit an obstacle or needed to avoid people or dogs. I'm back to bike riding and hiking now!
I definitely agree about balance issues. Although I’m mostly in remission I still have heaviness in my legs, butt pain on getting up from a chair or couch and have to take care with balance. I fell on a stony beach near my home while walking the dog a few days ago with no apparent cause. So lucky to have no injuries but a big reminder to take extra care.
