Ampyra Side Effect - Knee Pain

I have SPMS and have been taking Ampyra for a month. in the beginning I felt nothing but the side effects of lower back pain and increased balance issues. Those stopped, and I thought maybe it was helping me walk a bit stronger.
Then the knee pain started. I didn't connect it to Ampyra at first. But I've found it listed as a side effect in a users forum. getting up from chairs is very painful and I believe the pain has made my walking worse. this is counterproductive and I wonder if I should continue.

Knee pain isn't listed among the side effects reported by the FDA. Back pain is, as well as insomnia, dizziness, headache and constipation.

Have you consulted your doctor to be sure? It would be best to have this checked out to rule out other possible causes.

Is this the only medication you're taking?
